This week on Art Therapy in Process, we’re joined by David Gussak for a conversation that weaves through art therapy, career journeys, and the unexpected paths that shape our work. Dave shares his experiences pioneering art therapy within correctional settings and discusses the unique role creativity can play in environments often defined by restriction and isolation.

Along the way, we explore how each of us found our way into the field of art therapy, the mentors and moments that influenced our careers, and how we somehow all ended up sharing our work on social media. As always, the conversation takes a few delightful detours, with reflections on professional identity, connection, creativity, and the stories that emerge when therapists get together.
