I would definitely give it a shot.
I do a weekly art therapy group, which is really helpful.
You don't need to be a talented artist at all, it's much less about the aesthetic and much more about the therapeutic process, what it's like to draw, what the drawing means to you, conveying thought/feelings etc through art rather than words.
It's a great way to communicate things that are bigger than words, or that you just can't find the right words for.
Each art therapist is going to have a different approach, like with talk therapy, but the basic principle is the same. I find it really helpful.
Let us know how the conversation with the guy goes, and what you decide :)
