Clinic Events
Workshops
The GW Art Therapy Clinic develops and delivers workshops at no cost to support community welfare and personal self-care. These opportunities cover a wide range of topics, which have included building connections, self-awareness, and developing healthy strategies for self-care. Workshops are typically 90 minutes in duration to allow the space to engage with others, create, and reflect. We are always open to community feedback, and would love to hear from you if you are interested on a workshop that would support the needs you or your DMV community group have identified by emailing: atclinic
gwu [dot] edu
Upcoming Workshops:
Register for the in-person Dealing with Holiday Distress Workshop that will be offered in November so we can have creative materials ready for you to explore! This opportunity is intended to provide a space for self-care, reflection, and support within the community as we explore challenges around expectations, losses, and potential conflicts that can emerge during the holiday season. No artistic experience necessary.
Additional workshops are currently planned events for specific community partners.
Check back for more public workshops that are coming soon...
Groups
Groups provide a small private therapeutic forum to:
- discuss areas of mental health impacting participants and
- practice skills for coping with personal needs.
The goal of each group is shared with the DC metro community, and participants are invited to attend the set of sessions that have been planned with consistent group members to support growth through shared experiences.
Groups Available:
We continue to offer our free weekly virtual Open Studio group on Mondays from 11:30am-12:30pm that is accessible to adults residing in the DC metro area. Bring whatever materials you have available in your space to create. No artistic experience necessary.
*Please note that groups are not offered on December 21st & 28th. No registration required.

The Clinic will be closed for Winter Break from December 21sr through January 1st. Open Studio resumes January 4th.
Register for our 6 week virtual art therapy group for adults focused on Coping with News Anxiety. We will explore our signs of overwhelm, our boundaries, and healthy ways to cope.
No art experience is required, just a private space to log in to support a respectful atmosphere for sharing. In protecting confidential sharing, what is said in group, stays in group, but what is learned in group leaves. We promote a caring and nonjudgemental space.
Based on community requests, we also offer closed session group to offer supportive space. These groups offered on specific topics are not drop-in and require registration to attend the series to ensure a safe group size and confidential space. There is a fee of $5/session with these groups. Check back for more group opportunities like these that are coming soon...
