Art Therapists

Art therapists are mental health clinicians trained in both art and psychotherapy. Using a knowledge base of human development, psychological theories, clinical practice, and healing aspects of art, art therapists use art to facilitate both assessment and treatment. At The Retreat, art therapists support residents’ connection to feeling states and themes that are often out of reach of verbal discourse through a wide array of “preverbal” art techniques and materials. Our art therapists meet individually with all residents weekly and lead Art Therapy Group, Art Techniques Group, and a section of Mind Body Connections Group.

The following staff are in our Art Therapists department:
