any recommendations for how I can start art therapy?

Start with an adult coloring book and some gel pens...

Besides the great idea Minal has given, I also suggest using recycling materials to create art. If you can not store them, just create, take a picture and recycle again. It you have kids, include them. It is a great way to play, relax and explore your creative side//

Simplest would be to pick up some coloring books from a art supply shop -- you'll see art therapy Mandala Art outlines and or some pattern books - I have seen friends and family getting quite addicted to creating colorful pages. Many are categorized by their difficulty level so you can choose from a range. Some free apps are available for smart phones -- Coloring and pattern making ones.
