Where can I find an art therapist and what kind of training should she or he have?
Art therapists are professionals trained in both art and therapy and hold a Master's degree in art therapy or a related field, with additional coursework in art therapy. Registration as an Art Therapist (ATR) and Board Certification (ATR-BC) are obtained once experience in the field and requirements are met, although obtaining Board Certification is optional.
Art therapists are skilled in the application of a variety of art modalities, such as drawing, painting, clay, and other mediums, for treatment and assessment. Some conduct research as well, and provide consultations to allied professionals.
