Art Therapy vs Therapeutic Art
While art therapy typically involves a therapeutic relationship, which is considered to be the most important part of any type of therapy, there are certain elements and boundaries to a therapeutic relationship. An art therapy session is facilitated by a professional art therapist who has a master's degree in art therapy or counseling psychology (with additional 30+ graduate hours in art therapy training), alone with an internship and practicum and is typically licensed as a professional counselor by your state in the US.
On the other hand, therapeutic art-making can potentially involve developing therapeutic type relationships; however, they don't involve a traditional client/therapist relationship, as the role of an instructor is different than that of a therapist. While the student/teacher relationship has different dynamics than a more traditional relationship, when it comes to art teachers, they will need to be both competent and skilled in all areas that they teach; however, they do not receive all of the same training that is required in order to practice as an art therapist.
This credential does not license you to practice art therapy, but instead to have the skills to use therapeutic expressive arts practices for yourself, to facilitate workshops or to work with clients 1:1 for self discovery and growth. It is perfect for arts teachers, counselors and therapists, human service workers, youth group leaders, case managers, and more!
