Art Therapy Certification

Art Therapy Certification

Traditional talking therapies are often effective, but they do not meet the needs of all clients. Art therapy offers a non-verbal alternative that gives people a chance to explore distressing thoughts and feelings using a creative approach in a safe, controlled environment.

In this course, you will learn about the most common forms of art therapy, why it is beneficial for many groups and how aspiring art therapists can enter the field.

 

You will learn:

  • What art therapy is, and an overview of the three main types of art therapy
  • Why some people are more likely to benefit from art therapy than conventional talking treatments
  • What happens in a typical art therapy session
  • How art therapy can be used in conjunction with other forms of treatment
  • How to qualify as an art therapist
