Art Therapist Marketing
Help people seeking creative healing find trained art therapists who can guide their process.
15 minutes · No obligation · No pressure
Art therapy offers unique healing—help people who need it find you.
Marketing your art therapy practice? Art therapy provides healing pathways that talk therapy alone cannot. People who struggle to verbalize their experiences, children, trauma survivors, and many others can benefit from creative expression guided by a trained art therapist.
The challenge is that many people don’t know art therapy exists or confuse it with art classes. Your marketing needs to educate about what art therapy actually is while reaching people who could benefit from this approach.
What you need is art therapy-specific marketing. Strategies that explain your modality, reach appropriate populations, and communicate the unique value of creative arts therapy.
Is This Right For You?
This is for you if:
- You're a credentialed art therapist (ATR, ATR-BC)
- You want more art therapy clients specifically
- You can explain art therapy accessibly
- You serve populations suited to creative approaches
- You want to educate about your modality
- You're not a trained art therapist
- You just use art activities in talk therapy
- You want general therapy marketing
This may not be right if:
- You're not a trained art therapist
- You just use art activities in talk therapy
- You want general therapy marketing

Trusted by Mental Health Professionals
Mental Health Marketing has helped me build several websites for my businesses over these last few years. I've been thrilled with their work and believe their designs have greatly contributed to the success of my practices (I get lots of compliments on the websites!). Both Aaron and Josh are also great to work with–warm, creative, and very reasonable with their pricing.
I've worked with Aaron Carpenter and his team for several years and have been nothing but impressed with the way that they keep the project going to meet the goals I have set. Aaron has created a team of professionals who really know what they are doing. They are terrific project managers who make sure the job gets done right within the scope that we agreed on. I love Mental Health Marketing!
I can not say enough good things about Mental Health Marketing. They helped me take a nugget of an idea and explode it into a seven figure business. They offer concierge level service. Design work is top notch. In a world of "good enough" workmanship – Mental Health Marketing is that rare company that is never satisfied and always striving for perfection.

Questions About Art Therapist Marketing
Focus on the process, not artistic skill. Emphasize that art therapy is about expression and healing, not making pretty pictures.
You can show your own work or stock images, but never client work without explicit permission. Focus on the process.
Depends on your expertise: children, trauma survivors, seniors, those who struggle with verbal expression.
Emphasize your credentials (ATR, ATR-BC), formal training, and the difference between art therapy and art activities.
Often effective. Organizations serving your populations can be excellent referral sources once they understand art therapy.
Educational content explaining that art therapy doesn't require artistic skill—it's about process, not product.
If you offer groups, market them specifically. Art therapy groups can attract people who might not seek individual therapy.
If you have specialized training (trauma-informed, developmental), it can attract specific populations.
