What Is an Art Therapist? The Role of an Art Therapist

Art therapists are mental health professionals who use creative expression and the art-making process to help clients explore emotions, process trauma, and support personal growth. Trained in both psychology and the visual arts, they guide individuals, families, and groups through therapeutic activities that foster insight, regulation, and healing. Whether working in schools, hospitals, community programs, or private practice, art therapists play a vital role in promoting emotional well-being, strengthening resilience, and helping clients communicate experiences that may be difficult to express with words.
