What is Art Therapy?

Art therapy is a creative-based, therapeutic process that allows for learning and healing as well as assessing emotional well-being, social functioning, communication abilities and cognitive skills through creative expression. Our art therapy program uses a combination of psychological and art-based treatments and a variety of techniques to assess and serve clients experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression and social difficulties across the lifespan.

Sessions may include painting, collaging, writing, drawing, sculpting and using art media as a means of expression.

Educational requirements and credentials differ state-by-state. In Ohio, a master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy (LPC, AT) can be obtained after a 3-year, graduate-level program. After completion of the program, required supervision and art therapy experience, a therapist may apply to become a registered art therapist (ATR). Art therapists may then become board certified after passing the national exam (ATR-BC) and a supervisor (ATCS) after further required training. In addition to national credentials, the practice of art therapy is regulated with professional art therapy licenses in some states and other professional licenses elsewhere.
