What is an Art Therapist?
An Art therapist is a masters level educated psychotherapist that uses art as a tool to communicate. Art and creative mediums have the ability to speak when words are not enough. An Art Therapist can guide you through the creative process and support the client in their own journey as needed. Art therapists are trained in understanding how different materials possess different therapeutic qualities, using that knowledge the therapist can better assist the client utilizing the art process.
