Becoming an Art Therapist: A Guide
Becoming an Art Therapist: A Guide
It’s an exciting time to enter the mental health field. Whether you are a high schooler exploring career options, an undergraduate honing in on a major, or a professional considering a career change, this guide is full of insights and resources to help you learn more about the path to becoming an art therapist.
We know that gathering information about a future career needs to be twofold. You need the facts: what kind of degree program should I pursue? What about licensure? But you also want to know the personal side of things. What’s it like to work at a school? What’s it like to work in private practice? Am I going to like being an art therapist?
This guide intends to provide both. You’ll find an interview with Alexandria Art Therapy's Clinical Director Adele Stuckey, in which she shares her path to becoming an art therapist and advice on things to consider. You’ll also find information about where to look for jobs, and what’s required for licensure in the state of Virginia. This guide is tailored towards Art Therapists practicing in the United States.
