🎨 Professional Supervision for Art Therapists: Support, Growth & Confidence in Your Practice 🧠
As an art therapist, you hold space for others — but who’s holding space for you?
Clinical supervision for art therapists is a vital part of ethical, effective, and sustainable practice. Whether you're working toward credentialing, refining your clinical skills, or simply needing a safe place to process your client work, supervision provides the professional guidance and personal support you need to thrive.
Led by experienced, registered art therapy supervisors, sessions are collaborative, creative, and tailored to your unique needs — blending case consultation, ethical guidance, reflective practice, and (yes!) art-making to deepen your understanding and confidence as a clinician.
✨ Supervision Benefits:
Strengthen clinical decision-making and ethical awareness
Explore countertransference and self-care practices
Deepen your use of art in therapy and assessment
Receive support through complex cases or burnout
Meet credentialing or licensing requirements (CATA, CRPO, ACCT)
Whether you're a recent grad or a seasoned therapist, supervision isn’t just a checkbox — it’s a nurturing space to grow, reflect, and reconnect with your purpose as a healing professional.
🖌️ Invest in your development. Honor your process.
