This is a relatively new app but so far, I’ve enjoyed its use from time to time. It’s not a completely replacement of an art therapist but it’s inciteful and thought provoking.

LINA is a guided art-therapy app designed to help you turn emotion into insight and healing. Each task is 15 mins long and has been developed by certified therapists. You draw simple images, journal, and reflect using metaphorical and oracle cards, then receive guided insights to help you explore what’s beneath the surface. The app analyses your creative work to deliver smart insights, helping you understand patterns in your emotional life.

The app’s activities are created by art therapists and psychologists, so it aims to blend creativity with therapeutic structure. It’s well worth a test to see if it suits you or just to trial the idea of art therapy.
