Expressive Arts Therapy
Students enrolled in the Master of Arts Degree in Counseling with a concentration in either Clinical Mental Health Counseling; Marriage, Couple and Family Counseling; or Co-Occurring Disorders and Addictions Counseling, may add a specialty in Expressive Arts Therapy (EXAT), adding an additional 12-credits to their program. The EXAT specialty program is run in a cohort style and prepares students to integrate the therapeutic use of the expressive arts within their counseling practice. EXAT coursework is delivered in an online hybrid format. As a part of their practicum and internship experience, students will integrate at least 200 hours of multimodal expressive arts therapy. The EXAT program culminates with a Capstone project.
