MA Art Therapy in Creative Arts Therapies

2 Years On Campus Masters Program

Concordia University

Program Overview

Art therapy offers a rich range of life enhancing and strengthening opportunities for individuals, families and communities. Art-based approaches to healing foster non-verbal modes of communication to express emotional difficulties and diverse life-world experiences in ways that spoken language cannot. Art therapists assist individuals and groups of people in exploring forms in which visual imagery can nurture significant insights related to the psychological issues they may face and develop new ways of understanding self and others. We need art therapy researchers, scholars and practitioners to lead the development of personal and social uses of art-related health and therapeutically oriented practices and processes in the 21st century. The MA in Creative Arts Therapies, Art Therapy option, provides you with an opportunity to combine your passion for art and therapeutic work.
