Hey Peter: gosh, this is an area I have no idea about whatsoever. I’d say check with the BAAT about such questions. Best of luck, Amy

HI Lidia:

It’s so great that you are interested in art therapy. It really is a wonderful profession. The best place to start is by checking out schools that are approved by the American Art Therapy Association. I also have a bunch of other links with some good information for folks looking into the field.

I loved these top 10! I’ve been struggling with wanting to be a therapist but also wanting art to be a part of my profession. And as a result I found your post and learned about art therapy. I think its amazing! And was wondering what suggestions you have to becoming an art therapist? I’m seriously considering this as my career.

I would love your feedback! Thank you.

HI Bethany:

Welcome to foxboroarttherapy.com!

Art therapy certainly is nourishing, and from your Psychology Today profile I see you are in PA! I am a PA native (everywhere in a 1 hour radius of Scranton, PA. Yes, the cultural hub. You know it when you drive through it. Or see it on “The Office.”) Ha!

In any case, it sounds like you are doing rich work with photography, drumming, and art. I’d love to hear a bit about how you are using it with clients if you care to share. If you’d have any interest in talking about it on the blog, I’d love to chat backchannel.

Cheers,
Amy

Hi Lisa:

Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by, read, and comment. I agree, getting the opportunity to be constantly amongst artistic media is so enriching – both for me and the client. It just seems to open up so many possibilities, and urges us to harness that courage you speak of and be and create more than we thought possible.

And it’s my pleasure to clue folks in about the great work you are doing to help all kinds of therapists work more creatively.

Cheers,

Amy

These are all good top tens. I would add that as an art therapist, you get to be surrounded by color and materials that boost every cell. And this living with color and art making is the key to joy and courage.
Thanks for the mention and the thoughtful list.
Lisa
