I want to be an art therapist too
I know you have to have a background in art, and that you need to passed the standerds of the Art hterapy association..they even have a site 
, just google. it..BUt I dont know anybody who does art therapy to guide me .. do you know any thing else, like do I have to have a minor in phycology?? thanks for reading it 
You would need a masters degree to be an Art Therapist as well as your license(s). It would be best to major in Art & minor in Psychology or major in Psychology with a minor in Art for your Bachelors degree. Graduate programs look for that background. Good Luck!
My undergrad work was in general studies. You do not need a major or minor in psychology or art. Typically you will need a few psychology classes, including abnormal psych and some studio art, usually 4 or 5 to get into a grad program. Check with the programs in your area, requirements can differ.
You do not have to be artistically gifted.
The license is not something to worry about until after you graduate with your masters.
i was in that same spot drawing an outline of myself.
at the end, when she draws “help me” on her stomach, there is a scene in the exorcist that has the same thing happening..only it’s the possessed girl trying to tell the priest she’s trapped inside. this woman either saw the movie, which i think she did, but is also conveying that she is trapped and possessed in her own body, sadly. hope her therapy is a success.
in most states you need an additional masters degree to help for employment. Social Work most common. Psychology second. Better off with a social work masters (MSW) with the art therapy masters
That’s Alisa. THIN was filmed in 2004. Her therapy is a success
, but darlin, this aint no Exorcist knock off. At least, she doesnt sound possessed when I talk to her. 
Well, maybe when she said….haha no. I kid. Her pretty little head doesnt spin, I promise & well, as for projectile pea soup, I seriously doubt it these days. & after the Exorcist, I cant stomach it myself. ::makes face:: I like peas though.
haha fuck. Im a dumbass. I failed to read the info box over there ~~~>
You already KNOW that’s Miss Alisa there. Heh. My bad.
Karen, you’ve met Alisa?? Oooh..! I thought THIN was so amazing, I hope they’re all doing ok… Except poor Polly

IS FOOD A SUBSTANCE??????
Please see my videos and visit my channel to see materials from the Rudd Center from Yale.
This chain of change can only take shape if you are prepared to explore and expose a great deal of material. Please do not get fooled by simple solutions becauuse this is a very complex issue. I am working on creating a healthy marriage with all foods. This is about BALANCE ,and I have decided to take the risk so as to force this issue to be discussed fully.
I run a forum for people recovering/suffering from an eating disorder. The site is pro-recovery and aims to offer support and advice.
If you would like the URL send me a message as YouTube won’t let me post links

Her arms do look a bit flabby..
Alisa was a teacher and still is, and I was oen of her students. She is an amazing person, aside from what these people that are bring rude have said. She is a beautiful woman, inside and out. She was the best teacher I had and I wish I could still talk to her to this day.
Oh no- not that painting thing!
Are there any therapists who know how to emotionally relate to a patient?
She is a trained ART THERAPIST genious! Her job is to communicate somehow with patients who have a hard time verbally communicating themselves! It is actually an entirely different occupation and very helpful in it’s own respect!
Wait, two master’s degrees? Can you study for them both at the same time, like a dual masters? Man…. why not just make it a Doctorate…. I am a looonnggg way off I suppose, what is the job outlook anyway?
So I guess you recieved your degrees then? Are you working in the profession now? You wanted to a couple years back, just wondering how it has worked out for you.
that girl is beautiful and THIN! she shouldnt be killing herself by thinking this way! society makes fools of us by presenting lies =( how do you even define thin? anorexic? no beauty lies in being healthy!
I love Alisa’s voice. It’s so soothing and relaxing. I would have liked to be her student just to hear her speak!
i think they need new pens
please tell why you thing like that
That girl is absolutely stunning.
And I’d like to be an art therapist
