Would You happen to know Erin, if they might be looking at moving this online at all?
I’m in Tasmania and This sounds perfect but I have 3 kids under 5… so moving interstate is not an option.

I am writing to ask if I could speak to Melysa Sperber or any of there art therapist(s) working with survivors from modern slavery. I am very interested to learn more about this issue as I am currently studying my master of Art therapy in the UK. I would love to contribute to support survivors too. Please let me know if you have any questions for me. I hope to hear from you soon.

Hello, I am interested in an art therapy program, but both of Emporia’s links are not working. I am not ready for a masters program, but I do need to find a bachelors program to start with.

Is there any ART Therapy Certified programme in Ottawa?

This is awesome and very similar to what I’ve been thinking about with different creative mediums. Can Can learn when I need online or should I find a school? Do I have to get my bachelor’s and my masters or just one?

I know that’s a lot of questions but I’m on Instagram at @momokun_creat

Did you try art therapy yet? If so, very interested in hearing your experience.

Congratulations on your hard work, Alicia! Is your goal to compare degrees and titles or help clients? Just sayin’.

So I can hardly fault the blog author or others who would agree with her, but as an art therapist I would like to have a clear definition of our work, which is called art therapy and requires that a trained professional art therapist be present in accordance with ethical guidelines of the American Art Therapy Association. I practiced art myself for 30 years before becoming an art therapist so I agree very much with the idea that art making can be therapy. Thats why I became an art therapist. While becoming an art therapist I learned how much more psychology training is involved and that the process of art therapy with an art therapist present is quite different than making art for therapeutic benefits by oneself. Both are great things to do. I hope that we can in time be clearer about the meaning of the words we use. Sometime I wish that we had a different name for our profession. It seems we are constantly having to explain ourselves. We have taken over the term art therapy and want the rest of the world to use the term therapeutic art to describe the benefits explained in this blog post. So there it is, a small dilemma of word choice. So be it written in 2020.

Do Ikon courses include any practical element? I am currently teaching art at a public primary school in the East Kimberley. I’m looking to study art therapy online and working part time.

Charles Darwin University just released released a grad dip in creative therapies mid year. I love that they have an Aboriginal therapy aspect to the course outline, particularly as that would be the majority of the kids that I teach.

But I’m worried about the practical element, because I think that’s really important to have more than just the theoretical base. Are there any art therapy Masters courses available online that you know off?

I think they do an undergrad too called Contemplative Art Therapy.

Hi,
I think it is very possible. I just wrote a paper on this very topic for school, as I am both an artist and a musician as well. For me, I felt that it would be very fulfilling as well as inspiring to both the clients and myself.
I hope you pursue something in this realm, if you haven’t already.

🙂 Best of luck to you.

wow!!!! that’s the info that I was looking for. Graduate programmes for ART THERAPY in France! Do you know if the course is offered only in French?

I’m a student at UT and an art therapy major. I can tell you with full confidence that this program is the most disorganized haphazard mess I have ever seen. I cannot stress this enough… do NOT go to UT and major in art therapy, they are completely unqualified and it’s forcing me to transfer.

Hello Karla, I am exactly in the same position. I have an LPC in Texas and I use a lot of the expressive arts but I don’t want to have to do another MA.

Im in my first semester of art therapy taking intro to art therapy and arts and health i just switched from graphic design as a junior and I’m in love. I never enjoyed going to class and every single week I look forward to those classes. The professor is amazing, the material is so inspiring. I’m so grateful.

May you please advice if there is any Art Therapy Programs in Ottawa-Canada?

Hi Laura, Im in American too but really want to do thee Diploma. Have you heard anything or figured anything out about transferring back to America?

Hi, I am an international student, do you happen to know if getting an Art Therapy Diploma is recognized in the USA or UK and if it is not then what do I need to do once I go back to get it recognized?

Hello Nonini, would love to speak with you more about how you are pursing an art therapy degree at CUNY, something that my sister is interested in. What classes are you taking? Did you meet with an academic advisor who has helped you choose clases?

Thats suspended for now, 2020-2021 at least

Judith , I am interested in the program you mentioned above. Can you advise me where I could start the path of being an art therapist?
Thank you.

Hi Valeria, I am a photographer in LA and drive to SD often. Please let me know when you are having workshop. I would like to learn more about art therapy and have network with other female artists. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing! I am interested in learning more in Art Therapy and counselling. Would you please email what program I could start. I would like to get more professional training. Thanks.

Judith, I am glad that I found your blog. Can you email me how to get to your program of art therapy. Thanks.

Shand, I am searching for the simliar path too in LA or orange county, but I didn’t see any places offering the training. Please share if you any things.

Hi Wanda
Is this certificate course from Rob’s college allow you to approved ‘service Provider’s for NDIS in Australia?

Where else are the job opportunities?

Appreciate your response.
Thanks.

OMG this comment made me crack up!

I’m planning to apply to the Art Therapy Masters program at the University of Hertfordshire in the UK. It’s an approved level course by The Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) in the UK.

My question is, and if I may ask a few, will this permit me to join the CCPA and the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) in Canada?

As well, does OHIP/health insurance cover visits to an Art Therapist in Ontario or under what circumstances would it cover a visit (for example, if you’re employed at a hospital etc.)?

There seems to be a lot of gray area and I want to make sure this a recognized legitimate profession in Ontario/Canada

Any information would be great.

Since you already have a BA in Art, your next step would be to apply to FSU for their Masters in Art Therapy. What was your minor in? You need to have had classes in behaviorial or social sciences.

Nancy, I took care of my mother who had alzheimer’s for 11 years. If I can be of any help, feel free to contact me.
