    We asked Poppy to come to the high school to work with Kyle, who refused to speak, and who presented aggressive behaviors toward students and staff. Facilitating an art therapy intervention for Kyle enabled Kyle to express himself by building sculptures and drawing. Both of those art therapeutic interventions gave Kyle a sense of control of his emotions.

    My daughter, Kelsey, would not (or could not) tell me what was going on. When Kelsey worked with Poppy, I was amazed at the healing my daughter experienced through the art therapy process with her. Poppy customized an art therapy approach for her based on what Kelsey needed. After just a few sessions, Kelsey was able to express her feelings and thoughts much better.
