Art Therapy Jobs Overview
Are you interested in psychology and helping others to overcome life challenges? And are you creative or have a passion for art? Art therapy jobs combine psychology with art as a counseling tool. An art therapist works with the same patients as a traditional psychologist or counselor, helping patients view and create art as a therapy to express emotions, deal with difficult circumstances, and heal from past traumas.
As an art therapist, you’ll work with patients with mental health challenges, including chronic pain, depression, PTSD, anxiety, and addiction. You might take patients on an art museum tour one day and lead them in painting a self-portrait the next.

Art Therapist Education and Skills
An art therapist needs an undergraduate degree in either art or psychology and a minor in the other. If your portfolio of studio art is accepted into a graduate program, you then go on to earn your master’s degree in art therapy. An art therapy curriculum can include courses in:
- counseling skills
- art therapy techniques
- neuroscience in art therapy
Before finishing your master’s program, you’ll have a practicum class where you observe art therapists at work. Then you’ll complete an internship and work directly with patients. Depending on where you live, you might be required to have a therapy license to practice as an independent therapist.
