Certified ART2ESSENCE Training

Art can be therapeutic, but our ART2ESSENCE program is not an Art Therapy certification program. What does this mean? Read on to find out.

Many States and Countries require a Masters or Doctorate level education to practice Clinical Art Therapy. Therefore, the program we offer is Non-Clinical in nature. This is an important distinction. Graduates from our program are ART2ESSENCE practitioners, NOT Art Therapists. Jane Beese, Ph.D. holds a doctorate in Art Therapy. She is an Art Therapist. Therefore, our online program for people recovering from substance use does constitute as Art Therapy, but this training program cannot confer that status onto its students. The creative process is therapeutic in nature, but those of us who have not completed Art Therapy certification at the higher education/University Level cannot use the professional designation of Art Therapist.
