Supervision for LPC hours, with registered art therapists.
 

 Please consider granting registered Art Therapists the ability to supervise other Art Therapists for LPC hours. As a student, I find that many of my questions and concerns are specific towards the process art-making. Art therapists gain another familiarity with the client before, during, and after the art making process, of which a non-Art Therapist may not have the knowledge or experience of. Having access to a registered Art Therapist will provide a further enhanced understanding of the field. This understanding will be to the benefit of prospective mental health clients in the state of Virginia, receiving art therapy services.
