Philadelphia Art Therapy Associates is a diverse group of clinicians dedicated to fostering a world filled with love, compassion, empathy, and interdependence. They firmly believe that every individual deserves a safe space, wellness, and a journey towards finding meaning and contentment in life. Recognizing that various circumstances can make this journey challenging, the team at PhATA has been established to empower individuals to function and communicate at their highest capacity by tapping into their creativity. The therapists at PhATA cultivate supportive, trusting relationships through the creative process, art-making, and thoughtful discussion, ensuring that clients do not need to be skilled artists to reap the benefits of art therapy. Clients are encouraged to explore various materials, facilitating a comfortable channel of communication that may include verbal therapy as well. The creative process and the resulting art serve as a reflective mirror, enabling clients to gain insights into themselves, their roles in relationships, and their coping patterns. Together, they assess the relevance of these patterns and explore ways to enhance feeling and functioning. In their therapeutic practice, the clinicians partner with clients in an equal, empathic, and collaborative relationship, with a commitment to celebrating diverse aspects such as race, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identity. They are resolute in their mission to create a just and inclusive society for all, guided by the principle of treating others as one would wish to be treated.
