"Art Therapy has opened a whole new world to me. Just when I though I knew everything there was to know about myself, I found out more about my inner self; not only that, I found how Art and Therapy come together as one."

"Art Therapy Practicum (psy 301) has provided me the opportunity to utilize the skills learned in previous classes, while simultaneously working with children in a therapeutic art-making environment. Through my experiences, I have also grown as an individual. I have gained valuable insight on how art therapy can be utilized in a public school setting. In working with children with disabilities, I have found that art can help children communicate their feelings, conscious or unconscious, when verbal language fails...this experience has provided me with the opportunity to share my passion for art while helping students express themselves in an alternative manner."

"The Art Therapy program at Plattsburgh State has both a practical and theoretical component to it. My Practicum at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center at the university was an experience of a lifetime. I find art therapy to be an important medium for healing mental and physical needs. I strongly believe the dynamics of art therapy is underestimated. I am excited about the art therapy minor being a part of the SUNY Plattsburgh curriculum."
