Beyond The Lens Project was recently featured in Mount Lebanon Magazine. “It’s important to me to continue to share Philip’s vision of the world.”
Photography promotes creative expression, offering a constructive outlet for individuals to process their experiences in a supportive environment. Creative arts therapy fosters self-reflection, emotional regulation, and community connection, significantly enhancing the healing journey. This combination of self-expression and therapeutic support enables individuals in recovery to rediscover their inner strength and attain lasting positive changes, clarity in self-identity, healing from trauma, increased self-esteem, and emotional growth.
