  • Art Therapy is a form of Psychotherapy. It is at the forefront of Western intervention for the last 70 + years and it is fully integrated throughout the UK, and the USA. It is a frontline in trauma intervention and is deemed non-threatening in managing significant mental health challenges as well as maintaining overall well-being. Art Therapy is suitable for all development and ages, from very young children to adults. It

    bypasses language and defenses and allows unconscious memories and experiences to surface

    ready to be held and processed.

What People Say About Us

ATIC is hands down one if the best clinics in Dubai. They have been professional from day one and made me feel comfortable as I started my healing journey. Everyone I have interacted with made me feel welcome and understood however I have to give all my thanks to Khulood, my therapist. She has been nothing but a blessing with her insight and calm demeanour, she helped me navigate a lot of my personal trauma and anxiety and I feel like a different person after 2 years of seeing her. I will continue to use ATIC services even now after moving from Dubai.
