A chapter of the American Art Therapy Association
Indiana’s professional association for art therapy
Indiana Art Therapy Association
IndiATA connects and represents Indiana’s art therapy community. We support professional connection, education, students entering the field, public understanding, advocacy, and the statewide relationships that strengthen the profession.
We build professional relationships among practitioners, students, educators, partners, and the statewide art therapy community.
We support professional learning and accurate public understanding of art therapy, preparation, credentials, and practice.
We advance professional recognition, public protection, workforce visibility, and informed Indiana policy.
We bring art therapy into conversation with healthcare, mental health, education, community, and public systems across Indiana.
Art therapy
A mental health profession grounded in art-making, clinical training, and relationship
“…enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities…”
That phrase is the heart of the American Art Therapy Association’s official definition — the full text continues at the link below. Creating on your own can be meaningful; an art therapist adds graduate-level preparation and board credentials to guide the work.
