WHAT IS ART THERAPY?
Art therapy is a type of mental health service that involves making art.
Much of art therapy is nonverbal, focused instead on art-making processes and
experiences. Art therapists have master-level degrees, are credentialed
by the Art Therapy Credentials Board, and are trained in both psychology and art.
