As part of our commitment to art therapy's competent and ethical practice through the credentialing of art therapy professionals, the Art Therapy Credentials Board will soon upgrade our processing systems. Detailed information about the new system will be forthcoming in the next few weeks.
In preparation for implementing these upgrades, we will no longer accept application materials via mail as of February 19, 2021. Please send all application materials to the email system the ATCB implemented in 2020. All application materials mailed to the National Office will be returned to the sender. Detailed information about application submission via email can be found here: atcb.org/info.
If you have extenuating circumstances and are unable to use email, please contact Executive Director LeeAnn Mandrillo.
The ATCB is consistently updating processes due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Please check our COVID19 page for detailed information on email submissions.
Certification is an important consideration when choosing your art therapist. To find an art therapist who has met the standards of certification, or to verify a credential, search our database of ATCB credential holders: Provisional Registered Art Therapists (ATR-Provisional), Registered Art Therapists (ATR), Board Certified Art Therapists (ATR-BC), and Art Therapy Certified Supervisors (ATCS).
The ATCB features credential holders and their stories and artwork several times a year. Each profile highlights the journey that the credential holder has taken to become a professional, credentialed art therapist. The profiles are now a feature of the ATCB Blog. Follow the link below to view their profiles. If you are interested in being featured, please contact the ATCB National Office.
The mission of the Art Therapy Credentials Board is to protect the public by promoting the competent and ethical practice of art therapy through the credentialing of art therapy professionals.
