Frequently asked questions about art therapy supervision
FAQs
-
Yes. I am a Board Certified Art Therapist. You can use all hours of supervision with me towards your required 100 or 150 hours of supervision for your ATR. You must have be approved as an ATR-P (and have a number) by the ATCB before we can begin.

Supervision can be arranged as individual or group sessions (per ATBC guidelines, I can accommodate up to 6 supervisees for one hour), depending on your needs and preferences. We'll establish a regular meeting schedule that works for you, typically meeting weekly. Between sessions, I'm available via email for brief consultations about urgent clinical matters.
-
Art-making can be a valuable component of supervision, offering insights about countertransference and case conceptualization that verbal processing alone might miss. While not required in every session, I may invite you to respond artistically to clinical material or use art to work through challenging cases. This experiential approach helps deepen your understanding of art therapy processes while enhancing your clinical skills.
-
While I welcome supervisees working with diverse populations, my specialized knowledge in identity integration, cultural dynamics, and adoption-related issues may be particularly valuable if you're working with clients navigating these areas. My background as both an artist and adoptee informs my understanding of how creative processes can address complex identity questions and disenfranchised grief.
