Our MissionThe mission of the Expressive Therapies Center is to be the "loving hands and feet of Christ" to those whose psychological condition has left them marginalized, neglected, and hurting. To offer hope where hope fades. To offer comfort where comfort wanes. But most importantly, to offer healing where healing seems impractical or impossible.

Who We Are |
The Expressive Therapies Center is a faith-based, Ohio non-profit organization designed specifically for those suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and severe trauma. Through the use of Art, Music, and Dance Movement therapies, care recipients will learn how to self-regulate emotions and form interpersonal connections in a non-threatening, controlled environment.
|
Our History |
The Expressive Therapies Center initially set out to help soldiers, sailors, and airmen suffering the effects of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). It has since expanded to include all victims of PTSD and severe trauma. The Center itself is based upon the idea that beauty, especially that joyous beauty found in music, art and dance, can aid in the healing of the pain experienced by the victims that PTSD claims each year.
