Colors of Mind | Co-Founders
Sisters Avni & Ariana Balakrishnan co-founded Colors of Mind, an accredited 501-3c nonprofit, that utilizes art and dance movement therapy to help young adults better manage their stress and anxiety. The sisters started Colors of Mind while they were high school students. Through their journey, the young women found that practicing their passion of art and dance offered release to their own anxiety and wanted to share this with their community. After raising enough funds, and with the assistance of a Licensed Dance Movement Therapist and a Licensed Art Therapist, Colors of Mind has educated the art and dance community with these forms of therapy and introduced this to non- artists and non-dancers; showing improvement in mood and a reduction in anxiety. The Balakrishnans’ goal is to continue to spread the benefits of dance movement therapy and art therapy to their peers in hopes of improving the mental health of all.
