"Art is not a thing, it is a way" - Elbert Hubbard
We have a diverse team of Creative Arts Therapists with extensive clinical experience. Our therapists have clinical master's degrees and hold credentials and/or licensure in their respective field. All of our therapists maintain their own creative arts practices. We have therapists that offer therapy in Chinese and Spanish.
