HAROLD & JOAN FEINBLOOM FAMILY EXPRESSIVE ARTS PROGRAM: Wellness Through Creativity
This program receives generous support from the B. Thomas Golisano Foundation and others.
For more than 45 years, the Expressive Arts Department has served the local community through our music, art, and dance movement programs. We offer individualized music therapy, art therapy, dance therapy, adaptive lessons, and wellness sessions throughout Rochester, NY and believe that the arts should be accessible to all.
Expressive Arts is a safe and inclusive place, where students can come to express themselves. Students are the heart and soul of our program and they play a huge role in helping us design new and innovative offerings for our community. Diversity is vitally important to who we are, and we welcome students of all ages, abilities, identities, and backgrounds into our Expressive Arts program.
We believe in a strengths-based, client-centered, whole-person approach to learning, and our sessions address goal areas that directly align with the student’s desired outcome(s). These goal areas can include, but are certainly not limited to:
- relieving stress and anxiety
- strengthening cognitive/communication skills
- increasing memory retention and recall
- enhancing emotional expression
- promoting physical rehabilitation
- supporting social emotional development
- promoting overall wellness
Hochstein proudly welcomes Self-Directed Students.
