SOME NEW CHANGES

So you will notice that I have changed my titles from Therapeutic Arts Practitioner and Arts in Health Consultant to Arts in Health Practitioner / Consultant. I did this in part due to the confusion around what a Therapeutic Arts Practitioner does and what a Certified Art Therapist does. In many ways I have been engaged in an Arts in Health practice for many years so this just makes sense, especially when it come to the marketing of my services.

WHAT IS ARTS IN HEALTH ?
 
Arts in Health is a field dedicated to using the power of the arts to enhance health and well-being in diverse institutional and community contexts.

It is important to distinguish Arts in Health from Creative Arts Therapies. Arts in Health professionals use creative expression to enhance quality of life but do not attempt to diagnose or treat specific clinical conditions. By contrast, arts therapists (e.g., licensed music or art therapists) are clinical professionals who use the arts to actively treat trauma and specific mental or physical health goals.
