Welcome
Art Therapists!
Art Therapists help people understand their problems and
guide them to solutions through the creative process. An art therapist is
concerned with the treatment and rehabilitation of persons with mental,
emotional, medical, or physical disabilities. An art therapist uses art, as well
as traditional means of therapy, to lessen an individual's frustration, promote
healthy development and diminish the effects of a disability. Art has also
proven to be a useful tool in diagnosis and mental health evaluation,
particularly for children.
