FAQS & CONSUMER INFORMATION
DO I NEED TO BE AN ARTIST TO DO ART THERAPY?
Not at all. Art therapy is about expression, not performance. Most clients come in feeling nervous about art-making — and many leave surprised by how meaningful, calming, and clarifying it can be. Your work does not need to look a certain way. In fact, the goal is often to let go of perfectionism and use creativity as a pathway into authenticity, self-compassion, and emotional flexibility.
ARE YOU ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS?
No, Individual outpatient art therapy clients are not being accepted.
San Antonio Art Therapy still provides workshops, trainings, collaborative art installations, and coming soon-supervision, on a limited basis. Stay tuned for more details.

IS ART THERAPY A REGULATED PROFESSION?

This is signified by the ATR and ATR-BC letters.
