Where do art therapists work?
Art therapists work in a variety of settings e.g. hospitals, schools and colleges, supported living centres, rehab centres, and psychiatric facilities, wellness centres, forensic institutions, clinical research facilities, crisis centres, homeless shelters and domestic violence refuges, and mental health agencies, and many other settings.
In many cases, they may be self-employed or have a private practice because of the unique nature of the job. This means they can work with clients one to one or in a group setting as needed. Art therapists may also specialize in specific cases such as children, older people, or adults with certain types of trauma, or with certain types of illnesses or disabilities.
One thing’s for sure is it’s an interesting area that can offer a lot of variety.
