PATA wants to make locating an art therapist as easy as possible!

Scroll below to find art therapists and art therapy organizations listed by location. Please note that the below list does not include all art therapists in the DC-metro area. If you are looking for a therapist outside of the locations listed here, visit the directories provided by the Maryland Art Therapy Association website here, the Virginia Art Therapy Association website here, and/or the American Art Therapy Association website here.

If you are interested in promoting your practice or organization, please provide PATA with the information listed and send it to potomacarttherapyassociation@gmail.com.

* The Potomac Art Therapy Association (PATA) does not endorse specific service providers or services that organizations might offer. It is not PATA's intention to provide specific mental health advice to users of its website, but rather to provide users with information to help them find an art therapist. PATA urges users to search for a credentialed professional. Please visit our About Art Therapy Page here to learn about education as well as credential and license standards for Art Therapists.
