We were gone for a bit but we're back baby!

We are so excited to announce that we are looking for art therapists in Virginia to join our team!

**Applications are now being accepted via our website**

Are you an art therapist looking to expand your services to include more than just income from seeing therapy clients? Here at CATS we want to help our clients and our employees achieve purr-sonal well-being through creative expression.

If you’re looking for a unique residency experience in private practice now that you’ve graduated with your masters that aims to get your hours met and not burn you out in the process, we would love to connect with you!

Or maybe you’re already a livensed therapist and are looking for something different. We provide clinical services to individuals, groups, couples, and families. We also keep things creative in the work environment with options to diversify our services to include non-clinical work.

We are currently looking for art therapists who work with children, adolescents, and adults, and who utilize evidence-based treatment, trauma-informed care, and collaboration in the workplace.

We are also looking for art therapists interested in non-clinical services such as workshops, social media content creation, creative self-help resources, and more.

If you want to work in a safe, supportive, and collaborative work environment where you can really focus on your clinical niche and professional identity, apply on our website today!

Hi everyone, I wanted to formally introduce myself and my practice. I just launched Coastal Art Therapy Services in January 2024 and accept Sentara Health Plans, am certified OON with Tricare, and am working toward credentialing with anthem. Located in person in Norfolk and virtual in Virginia.

I specialize in art therapy, CPT for PTSD, RO DBT for disorders of excessive self-control, and DBT. I am trained to provide DBT for parents, couples, and families so that individuals in the family can enhance their communication and connection through the same therapeutic language and skill practice.

I coordinate care with med prescribers, doctors, and other therapists. I’d love to connect with others on here and network!

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a powerful mental health treatment that teaches individuals who suffer from chronic emotion dysregulation how to feel more in control of themselves and their emotions.

By teaching the four skills modules of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness, individuals can transform their lives with more awareness, emotion regulation, and fulfillment.

Lisa is foundationally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Read about her experience working as a -informed at a group practice on the blog linked below.

Part of what attracts me to DBT is the neuroimaging evidence that shows (with real pictures!) how consistently practicing the mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and walking the middle path skills changes the brain.
