Umm... I'm not sure...If you don't think creatively at all and find the thought of expressing yourself through art stressful as opposed to helpful I don't think it's likely you'll get much benefit from it. I am 'creatively minded' and I had art therapy for a while but I found it really stressful...having someone look at what I'd drawn and talk to me about it..I could hardly put anything on paper! But then that could be a personal thing or I wasn't at a place where it could help me...

It's really bad that that's all they have to offer you! They must know art therapy isn't for everyone...

Having said all that there'd be no harm trying! If you're not creative it might actually make it more beneficial 'cause you can just get stuck right in there and never mind what it looks like! I think that's the key... :)

Sorry not much help...hope whatever you decide works out well anyway hun.. xx
