The story behind the art therapy box

Passionate about helping children navigate their emotions through art, Carine Ghaddar, a licensed Art Therapist, created the Art Therapy Box. As an art therapist, she has seen firsthand how creative expression can be a transformative tool for self-discovery, emotional healing, and building resilience.

Her journey began when she recognized that many children—especially those facing significant emotional challenges—struggle to articulate their feelings through words alone. That’s when she decided to combine her love for art with her therapeutic background to create a product that would offer a safe space for kids to explore their feelings in a fun and creative way, as well as allow parents to understand their children’s complex emotions.

Ghaddar has worked with children from diverse backgrounds and with different needs, guiding them to express their thoughts, relieve stress, and gain confidence through creative activities. Through the combination of art, self-expression, and emotional exploration, Ghaddar aims to help kids grow emotionally, build self-awareness, and find joy in their creativity.
