About the Certificate


The 18-credit hour Expressive Arts in Counseling certificate is designed for mental health professionals, school counselors, human services professionals and others who have a background in therapeutic work. Open to those who hold, or are working towards, a graduate or undergraduate degree in counseling or another therapeutic field, such as social work, this program of study allows you to re-energize the work you do with others.  You will explore the use of visual art, dramatic art, dance/movement, music and the written word in your coursework and experiences learning how to incorporate these techniques into your clinical work with individuals and groups.
