In this episode, we discuss Art Therapy with Ania Wasowicz, LCAT. During the conversation, Ania explains what Art Therapy is, who may benefit from art therapy and how she found her passion for supporting people through the creative arts. Ania also discusses why art therapy may work better for some kids than more traditional talk therapy. Finally, she touches on myths and misunderstandings around Art Therapy. For example, Ania reassures us that you don't have to be an artist to benefit from Art Therapy!

Ania is a board-certified and licensed creative arts therapist in New York with over eight years of experience using art therapy and EMDR across inpatient settings, schools, and private practice. She works with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also currently serves on the Art Therapy Credentialing Board. Ania believes deeply in the power of creativity as a supportive, grounding tool for expression, regulation and meaningful healing.
