Regional Liaisons

Work as an art therapist can feel isolating at times with our field often misunderstood or dismissed as recreation.  SoCalATA wants to help connect professional art therapists and art therapy students through our regional liaison programs. 

In an effort to be more inclusive of all our members we are looking for art therapist to represent their regions. If you are a SoCalATA member living in one of our ten counties, we'll list you on our website as a contact person for local news and events. Contact  us today for more information.
