Art therapy in Ibiza
Lucrecia César Martínez
Not everything we go through can be explained in words. Creating opens another door.
What is art therapy?
It isn't about knowing how to paint, or making it pretty.
Art therapy is a form of therapeutic support that uses the creative process to explore what we are going through.
Painting, drawing, collage, clay, writing or movement: different languages to reach parts of ourselves we often can't put into words.
Sometimes we've talked and thought about it a thousand times and still repeat the same patterns. Other times we don't even know what's wrong. Creating opens another door.

Through an image, a colour, a shape, a movement or a composition, emotions, needs, conflicts or desires that were outside our awareness can appear. We don't interpret the artwork from the outside or look for a correct meaning. What interests us is what happens in the experience of creating, and what that process reveals.
My approach is humanistic and Gestalt-based, with input from psychodynamic and bioenergetic work. The body has an important place: we work not only with what we think or feel, but also with what the body holds.
The focus is on the here and now: what is happening in the moment, in the relationship with the artwork, with the body and with the person accompanying the process.
So for me, art therapy isn't only about creating. It's a relationship between what I express, what I create and what it shows me. In that space, new ways of seeing what we're going through can appear, and little by little, new ways of relating to ourselves.
Why art therapy
When words are not enough
The unconscious speaks in images
What is hard to put into words shows up as we create: in a shape, a colour, a gesture.
The body remembers
The body holds what we have lived. Here it is not only words that speak, but hands, movement and material.
You notice it day to day
When presence, creativity and the unconscious work together, the change shows outside the session.
Your creativity wakes up
Working with creative methods, creativity unblocks almost by itself, without effort.
Lighter, just as deep
Creating can even be fun, and feels lighter than talk-only therapy. The work goes just as deep.

FAQ
What people usually ask me
What is art therapy?
Art therapy is a form of therapeutic support that uses the creative process (painting, drawing, collage, clay, writing or movement) to explore what we are going through, especially what is hard to put into words. I work from a Gestalt and humanistic approach, paying attention to the body and to the here and now.
Who is art therapy for?
For adults and children who want to understand what is happening to them, break repeating patterns, go through a change or reconnect with their creativity. I offer individual, children, group and online sessions in Santa Gertrudis, Ibiza.
Do I need to know how to draw or paint?
No. It isn't about knowing how to paint or making something pretty. What matters is what happens while you create, not the result. No art experience is needed.
How much does an art therapy session cost?
An individual session costs €60 (1 h 15 min) and a children's session €60 (60 min), materials included. The first session is a trial at the same price; after that, the process is 5 sessions. Group therapy prices are available on WhatsApp. Cancellations need 24 hours' notice.
Do you offer online art therapy?
Yes. Individual sessions are also available online by video call, in English or Spanish, with the same length and price as in-person sessions.
Where are the in-person sessions?
In my studio in Santa Gertrudis de Fruitera, in the centre of Ibiza.
