Graduate Programs in Art Therapy

Graduate programs in art therapy are advanced degrees that prepare individuals to use creative art-making as a therapeutic tool to help people improve mental, emotional, and psychological well-being. Students learn how to integrate psychological principles with art techniques, working with diverse populations such as children, trauma survivors, or individuals with mental health conditions. The programs typically include coursework in psychology, counseling, and art therapy practices, along with supervised clinical experience. Graduates are often licensed or certified to practice as art therapists, helping clients express themselves and process emotions through art in a supportive, therapeutic context.
