If you’ve never tried art therapy and you’re not sure it’s for you, there’s a simple, no-commitment way to find out: Try for Free. Make something — a drawing, a small collage, a photo of something that matters — and get a written reflection back. That’s it. It’s built for people who are curious but hesitant, whether you’re navigating everyday stress, a big life transition, or you just want to feel what art therapy is actually like before booking a full session.
What Art Therapy Actually Is
Art therapy isn’t about making something beautiful, skilled, or “good.” It’s a way of working with feelings and experiences that are hard to put into words, using color, shape, and mark-making instead of — or alongside — talking. A scribble, a stick figure, a few overlapping shapes: all of it carries information. No artistic skill required. What matters is the process, not the finished picture.
How the Free Offer Works
Three simple steps:
- Create — draw, paint, or put together a small assemblage of things: a collage, an arrangement of objects, even a photograph of something that matters to you right now. Doodles and scribbles count too. It also helps to make something that actually means something to you — a drawing from childhood that keeps coming back, something from a dream you had recently, a shape that seems to draw itself when you’re relaxed, or colors you’re drawn to, whether favorites or ones that simply feel resonant right now.
- Send — photograph or scan what you made and upload it in the comment box below, or send it via WhatsApp, email, or Instagram. Submissions through the comment box are private: they are never published on the site, and only Yuliya sees them.
- Reflect — Yuliya looks at it and sends back a short written reflection: gentle observations about color, composition, and what they might point to — without labeling or diagnosing anything.
Why Online Works Well for This
Because the whole exchange happens through a drawing and a message, there’s no need to be in the same city, get on a video call, or even show your face. That makes it a genuinely low-barrier way to test the waters — useful if therapy is new to you, if you’re an expat without local English-speaking options nearby, or if you’d simply rather process something privately before deciding whether to go further.
What to Expect From the Reflection
A written reflection isn’t a diagnosis or a treatment plan, and it isn’t a substitute for ongoing therapy — think of it as a gentle first mirror. Some people find it surprisingly resonant. Others mainly use it to get a feel for how Yuliya works before committing to sessions. Both are a completely normal response, and there’s no pressure either way.
If You’d Like to Go Further
If the exercise resonates, individual 50-minute sessions — online or in person at 360 Art Center in Chiang Mai — are available for 2,500 THB (about $75 USD). Sessions are trauma-informed and process-oriented, drawing on Yuliya’s background in art therapy and addiction counseling, including hands-on experience in rehabilitation settings in collaboration with clinical teams.
FAQ
Is this really free?
Yes. There’s no charge, and no obligation to book anything afterward.
Do I need to know how to draw or make art?
No. This isn’t about artistic ability — a drawing, a collage, a photo, a doodle, whatever you put together is useful material for the reflection.
What happens to what I send in? Is it private?
It’s used only to prepare your personal reflection. It isn’t published or shared without your consent.
How long does it take to get a reflection?
Usually a few days. If the offer is unusually popular that week, it may take a little longer.
