About Studio Retreat

At Studio Retreat, students are encouraged to explore and create unique pieces of art with access to a range of materials and a relaxing atmosphere. Here, participants have the opportunity to grow in their artistic abilities and express themselves in a fun and creative way. Professional art therapy is also available to those who have experienced trauma, illness, or other life challenges. Mary Ablao is a private art therapist who specializes in treatment for clients with closed-head injuries, posttraumatic stress syndrome, depression, and dementia. Through art therapy, clients can gain a better understanding of their symptoms and experiences while finding the self-awareness and skills to effectively manage them. Art therapy can also help reduce the impact of traumatic events and improve cognitive abilities. Studio Retreat provides the perfect environment for individuals to explore and create pieces of art that are both unique and beautiful.
