East Bay Art Therapy serves clients of all genders, ages 4 and up with a variety of diverse backgrounds and identities. We work with a variety of mental health issues with both youth and adults. We are an anti-oppressive, anti-racist, anti-fatphobic practice that is LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent affirming.
EBAT has 10 Creative Arts Therapists on staff. Our Art Therapists have clinical masters degrees in Art Therapy, are credentialed with the Art Therapy Credentials Board, and have extensive clinical experience. We also offer other creative arts therapy modalities currently only for off-site services. All of our therapists maintain their own creative arts practices.
We provide off-site creative arts therapy services to a wide variety of populations of all ages throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area. We partner with hospitals, K-12 schools, senior centers, treatment centers, affordable housing, non-profit agencies, and government agencies to bring innovative and trauma-informed care to the local community.
Are you or your team of mental health clinicians looking for creative and trauma-informed ways to build rapport with clients and address treatment goals? Are you a school administrator looking to create a trauma-informed team of educators and increase student's social emotional learning (SEL)? We provide a variety of trainings and professional development to mental health providers and educators!
Is your team struggling with work stress, burn-out, creative blocks, unhealthy work/life balance, or grief? Is your team lacking healthy cohesion, communication and collaboration? Are you managing a team of healthcare professionals or frontline workers struggling with vicarious trauma? An Arts-based Wellness Workshop can address all of your workplace wellness needs!
Whether you or your child are feeling blocked by past trauma, stuck in destructive patterns, or overwhelmed by depression or anxiety, individual art therapy can help you see your problems with a new perspective. We nurture a genuine and supportive relationship with our clients so they can feel safe to explore and grow.
Group art therapy is a great way for people to explore and process their feelings and experiences both verbally and artistically, while bonding with peers and learning social skills and new coping skills. We currently offer 4 different on-site art therapy groups for folks ranging from ages 14 and up. We also offer off-site groups throughout the bay area.
Couples Art Therapy is a unique and powerful approach to building intimacy, increasing communication, decreasing conflicts, and rebuilding trust. Art Therapy is a way for couples to express themselves and connect with each other non-verbally and the art work and art process often reveals new information about the dynamics of the relationship.
If you want to work on healthier communication and boundaries amongst family members, Family Art Therapy is a creative and accessible approach for all ages. Our art therapists can help your family process conflict, trauma, or grief while deepening relationships and learning new coping skills.

"As someone who struggles with expressing how I am feeling, I learned how impactful art can be on creating and maintaining a healthy mental health." - Workshop Participant
"I appreciated the therapeutic nature of transforming my inner thoughts to visual pieces which allowed me to approach my issues from another angle." - Workshop Participant
"The deconstructing of my original piece and then changing it to something different was impactful. I did feel a little lighter and like I have relieved some of my emotions." - Workshop Participant
"Focusing on the process of art making and not the end result, helped me to let go of my perfectionism." - Workshop Participants
"I have never thought to use art for self-care, but the workshop was soothing and healing to me. I can use art for my self-care because creating something has been helping me mentally." - Workshop Participant
