Even though we are updating our site, we didn't want to lose all of our archived news! We will be posting more blog updates in the near future... but here are the archived updates.
Fall 2014
Have you been to Art Therapy Austin before and enjoyed your experience? Consider leaving a positive review on Art Therapy Austin's YELP page: http://www.yelp.com/biz/art-therapy-austin-austin. Help someone else take the next step to change their world!
Art Therapy Austin is happy to welcome Deann Acton, LMFT. Deann recently moved back to Austin from the San Francisco Bay Area. Deann brings extensive experience working with children, teens, and adults. She also has experience as an educator- teaching at two universities in California: Notre Dame de Namur University in Belmont, California and Dominican University in San Rafael, California. Deann received a dual masters degree in Marriage Family Therapy and Art Therapy in 1998. While living in California, she received her board certification as an art therapist from the American Association of Art Therapists in 2007.
Summer 2014
Art Therapy Austin welcomes Shannon Mekuly, LPC, ATR. Shannon also offers group therapy at Shoal Creek Hospital and McCallum Place Eating Disorder Center.
This summer, the American Art Therapy Association will be holding their 45th Annual conference in San Antonio! The conference runs from July 9-13th. Advanced registration ends May 30th, so don't dawdle! If you are interested in becoming an Art Therapist, this is a rare opportunity to soak up as much Art Therapy as you can! Here's the link: http://www.arttherapyconference.com/
April 2014
Austin Ashiatsu has expanded and moved just around the corner from Art Therapy Austin. We will miss them! But being so close, it's still very convenient for clients to have both Art Therapy services here and take a super short drive or stroll to 1306 E. 7th St. It also means that Art Therapy Austin has room for expansion. We are looking forward to Art Therapist Extraordinaire, Deann Acton joining the practice in summer of 2014, so stay tuned!
February 2013
Deanna Miesch hosted another workshop at the University of Texas at Austin 2/21/13 from 5:30-7:30pm for current & UT alumni interested in pursuing Art Therapy as a career. There was pizza, The Ullman Art Therapy Assessment, case presentations and it was followed by Q & A. It was a pleasure to meet so many fresh faces and future ART THERAPISTS! Take a look at the events Facebook page.
December 2012
Art Therapy Austin participated in a friendly “competition” as part of the Austin Independent Business Alliance (AIBA) Holiday Window Shopping Contest. Our lovely neighbor, Blake Shanley at Tiny Taiga beat us out in the East End IBIZ District. Maybe next year!
