What are some colleges that offer Art / Education / Therapy?
Hello again, I am graduating this summer and going to a Junior College in Fall. After I get my associates, I was wondering what kind of 4-year would be good to transfer to. Was thinking somewhere around New York / New Jersey. My current career goal is to be an art teacher.
Where should I look and who should I talk to about art therapy internships ?
I am a sophomore psychology major attending Howard University and I am having a hard time finding people to talk to about a career in art therapy. I’m trying to find undergraduate internships or somebody to work under so I can really see if I have a love for this career path.

How do I become an art therapist?
I'm an artist and a first year college student in NYC (Withdrew from second semester). Originally, I was working towards a computer graphics degree (which included art). However, I'm no longer interested in the tech field and after sometime, I realized the mental health field is something I wanted to work in. I quickly found that art therapy sounds right up my ally. My current college doesn't provide that degree so I've spent hours researching the different schools that offer it and have been hit with dead ends or very confusing information. If any art therapists in NYC can give me insight on how you got your degree and which school(s) are accredited or have the courses that accredited school take, that would be amazing. Also, is there a less costly way to become one? So far, all the school in NY that offer it have 5 digit tuitions even with financial aid.

What art therapy programs would you recommend?
Hello there, Briana here! I am a current community college student, planning on graduating later this spring semester and I wanted to ask about any art therapy graduate programs so I may later choose the right school and bachelor's programs for me. I generally know a lot of the programs are private institutions, although I'm not technically sure if I want to consider being in or out college of state, cost, plans of work transportation and so forth. I had the resources from school; but being it was a while since I was actively searching (when not swamped with coursework), I'm not sure where to jump in. Any and all information would be greatly appreciated and thank you to anyone who responds in advance. #art #psychology #college-advice #career #art-therapy #masters #bachelors

How could planning to spend some years as a stay-at-home mom affect my career choice?
I know I want to work as a therapist in my future, and I feel that my career would be a very important part of my life. At the same time, I know I also want to have a family, and I'd like to spend at least a few years at home with my children, assuming this is financially feasible for our family. I know there are some careers and some positions where this is easier than in others. Obviously, managers have to return to work more urgently than those below them, etc. Are there any particular careers in the field that would be especially conducive or obstructive to this decision? Any advice would be appreciated. :) #psychology #therapy #parenting #art-therapy #play-therapy #stay-at-home
