Art Therapy Education Programs

For Art Therapy Students

I am available to provide your students online Clinical Supervison to support their practicum work or Individual Psychotherapy. 

Clinical supervision is a vital process for professionals seeking to enhance their skills and therapeutic effectiveness. It offers a reflective space to discuss client cases, explore different therapeutic approaches, and receive constructive feedback. This supportive framework not only fosters personal growth and confidence but also ensures the highest standards of care for your clients.

Clinical Supervision is offered to Registered or Professional Art Therapists and Psychotherapists who are seeking Clinical Supervision to support their clinical work.
