What if healing didn't have to happen on a couch? In this episode of Therapy is Dope with Alicia and Laura, we're joined by guest co-host Kishima Garcia and special guest Matt Sandoval, M.Ed., LMSW — CEO of Art Heals Arizona — for a warm, eye-opening conversation about the power of art to transform trauma into resilience.

Matt shares how Art Heals Arizona uses creative expression and trained volunteer mentors to serve children and teens who have experienced abuse, neglect, and homelessness. We dig into the research behind the program, the profound impact of mentorship on kids in foster care, and the intentionality behind the training of the volunteers.

Whether you're a mental health professional, an artist, or someone who just wants to make a difference — this one is for you.
