It’s Creative Arts Therapy Week! The team, which sits in the Child Life, Education and Creative Arts Therapy department at CHOP, includes Art Therapy, Dance/Movement Therapy, and Music Therapy.
Our therapists are masters-level board certified mental health professionals, specifically trained to assess clinical needs and utilize creativity, counseling, and the therapeutic relationship to support emotional, social, behavioral, and physical health for patients of all ages. They offer both verbal and non-verbal opportunities as well as transformative services to foster positive self-esteem, promote a sense of independence, and increase feelings of control. The team works across the Philadelphia campus, Pediatric Advanced Care Team, Partial Hospitalization Program, Middleman Family Pavilion at King of Prussia, and Behavioral Health and Crisis Center.
