Arts therapist Stephanie Buck is forming an ongoing expressive arts group that will meet Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. from April through July and September through December at The Yellow Door Studios, in Hastings-on-Hudson. The group is for adults wanting to explore and work through challenging issues in their lives, expand their creativity, overcome creative blocks and strengthen their inner resources, Buck says.

“The creative process is a therapeutic process,” she says. “This work is profound and delicious.”

For more than 25 years, Buck has worked with individuals, families and groups as a licensed creative arts therapist. She was director of art therapy at the Northside Center for Child Development in New York City for 16 years, and she was also the art therapist at St. Barnabas Cancer Center in Livingston, New Jersey.

All material will be supplied for each Friday workshop, and no previous art experience is necessary. Buck offers free initial consultations for anyone interested in participating.

Cost: $80 per workshop. Location: The Yellow Door Studios, 1 North St., Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. For more info, contact Stephanie Buck at 914.478.4200 or [email protected].
