Can Coloring Really Reduce Anxiety? An Art Therapist Explains 불안한 우리 미술로 치료 할수 있을까?

Art can express what words often cannot. In this episode of Take 1.5 Podcast, we sit down with Sue Yi, a creative arts therapist who has dedicated her career to helping children and families heal through creativity. Growing up as an immigrant child in Queens, New York, Sue Yi understands firsthand the challenges of navigating identity, belonging, and cultural expectations. She shares how her own story shaped her calling and discusses her work as a creative arts therapist at Children's Day Preschool & Family Center and Charlie Health, where she supports children and families—including many from minority communities—through emotional and mental health challenges. Together, we explore how art therapy helps people process difficult emotions, why creative expression can be a powerful tool for healing, and what parents can do to better support their children's emotional well-being. Whether you're a parent, educator, mental health professional, or someone on your own healing journey, this conversation offers hope, insight, and a fresh perspective on the power of creativity.
