clinical art therapist

A clinical art therapist is a mental health professional who uses art-making as a therapeutic tool to support emotional and psychological well-being. They work with individuals to express feelings, process experiences, and improve coping skills through creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture. The therapist interprets the artwork within a clinical context to help clients gain insights, reduce stress, and promote healing. This approach is especially beneficial for those who find it difficult to articulate emotions verbally, making art therapy a valuable form of expressive therapy in mental health treatment.
