Found this video after juggling the idea with becoming an art therapist, I much appreciate you putting this video out there for a reference! I also imagined myself with this awesome space to help clients- more or less a cool fish tank for clients too look at and all sorts of art supplies! A safe place. But billing and stuff- yeah that seems frustrating haha

I've been planning to take up a masters in art therapy and hopefully work in the pediatrics department of a nice and big hospital, not necessarily private practice or freelance. However, there's so many things I'm unsure of, like whether I'll actually be able to get a stable job after investing in a university degree and such and whether I can just get a certificate in art therapy instead of taking a post graduate degree. Everything becomes all the more scary since I plan to study abroad so I guess I want to know everything with certainty.. but there's no way to know if I'll enjoy and succeed in something I'm trying for the first time haha

Im thinking of majoring in art therapy for my masters. Im doing psych right now for my bachelors, would you recommend that i do counseling for my masters and just do a certificate in art therapy? Thank you!

Do you have a dual license with counseling too or just art therapy?

Can you please share some examples of the “no you can’t do this, no you can’t do that”? I’d love to know! Thanks!

Hello! I realize you don't like art therapy, but my girlfriend is interested and university of florida has a certificate program in it. Just curious, do you know anything about the cert programs vs the MA programs? Also, what is a good assumption of starting pay in the field? Some additional information would be great! Thanks! (hopefully you still keep up with these comments lol)

Hi! I'm a junior in high school and I am planning on going into art therapy as my career path! are there anything you think I should know? thank you so much :-)

[lilacfever]

Thank you for this video!! I just graduated with a BFA in Media Art with a minor in psychology. Im really interested in art therapy and I want to go to graduate school for that. Would going to graduate school in counseling work well with that. What do you recommend?

Hello. I'm in my AS level year, and I'm looking into becoming an art therapist. I personally do not think A level will benefit me, especially with the subjects I am doing. Do you think I could apply for an art therapy course with just my O-Level and AS Level results?

Hello, I’m a junior in high school and I’m exploring different career options. I was thinking about art therapy (specifically for kids) in hospitals- is that too hard of a field to get into? Is it pretty common? Do you know what qualifications I would need? Thank you so much!

Hey, So I hold a masters degree in PSychology from India and planning to pick up an art therapy course with some aspect of psychology in it. any suggestions?

[kendrafowler]

i am interested in a drastic career change and considering art therapy. there are grievances in most work that i, and most people experience first hand in almost any role- so just to understand what you're saying for someone who is seeking to learn more- medical records are the annoying thing? im not exactly clear.

[madisonbaker]

I’m not much of an artist, could I still do this career?

[angleeceiasorrentino]

Patient keeps original artwork, the therapist should have limited rights to artwork.
