Careers
Becoming An Art Therapist
The American Art Therapy Association (AATA) in conjunction with the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB) is responsible for regulating the educational, professional, and ethical standards of art therapists in the United States. For more information about Art Therapy training visit the American Art Therapy Association website.
In addition to the standards set forth by the American Art Therapy Association and the Art Therapy Credentials Board, many art therapists must meet additional educational, professional and ethical standards regulated by the occupational codes of the state in which they practice. In the State of Texas, art therapists must practice under mental health licensure as professional counselor. This license also requires a master or doctoral level degree in counseling, psychology, social work or related field.
For more information about licensing visit the Texas Behavioral Health Executive Council website.
