About Counseling Center of Expressive Arts – El Paso, Texas

They help adults and adolescents who are experiencing issues with substance abuse and dual diagnoses. They offer therapeutic services including individual, group, couples and family therapy. They work with several insurance providers including Texas Medicaid, Traditional Medicaid and TRICARE.

All therapists at the center are skilled in talk therapy. You may have heard of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It’s talk therapy with a unique approach. Unlike some forms of talk therapy that focus mainly on exploring past experiences or expressing feelings, CBT is more structured and goal oriented. It involves working on specific skills to change negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is a common therapy used to help people experiencing mental health issues.

Depending on your needs and unique situation you may participate in group therapy. If you’ve never participated in a group therapy session you may think it’s just a bunch of people taking turns to get advice from a therapist. It’s actually a space where group members share their experiences and support each other. Group therapy helps people realize they’re not alone in their struggles.

Individual and group therapy are common options for substance use support, but what sets CCOEA apart are the additional therapies they offer. Expressive therapies like art, music and movement give people creative ways to explore and release emotions. Sand tray therapy is a unique approach that helps both children and adults explore their emotions by creating scenes in a tray of sand using miniatures. You don’t need to be an artist either. This therapy is about personal insight, not perfection.

Many clients praise The Counseling Center of Expressive Arts, saying they’ve been a lifeline. They say the center offers not only professional guidance but a safe, supportive space where healing can begin.
