AMD Art Therapy Update :
Recently I was denied LCT -C in New Brunswick as my program in Art Therapy as a graduate program did not meet the criteria for licensing. Not only is this a huge disappointment for me as a mental health professional, and for the community of art therapists, but especially those trying to access mental health with alternative therapies. Art Therapy is such a valuable resource for so many, however not having access to bill through insurance has put up a barrier. Especially for the many people who were waiting for this opportunity to be able to have access to my art therapy services. In a time of mental health crisis, this decision doesn’t seem fair. I am finding any way I can to be able to provide Art therapy for disenfranchised populations, so I will remain positive that my reach will be broad, but I will not stop advocating.
At this time I have decided to close my office and focus on community partnerships. If you are interested in 1-1 therapy sessions please connect with me and we can find a way to make it work for you.
Thank you to everyone who has been supporting me over the past year. I am beyond grateful and this is not the end for this, there are just next steps that need to happen !
Cheers!
Alisha
