Dr. Bethany Altschwager, DAT, ATR-BC, ATCS, LCAT, LPAT.

While art has always been an important part of my life, I started my career in 2007 teaching photography, graphic design, and studio art. What I found most rewarding about teaching was facilitating the creative process and giving my students the tools they needed to give visual form to their emotional expression. After a few years I realized that my passions were more closely aligned with the values of art therapy which led me to pursue my master’s degree at the School of Visual Arts. While in graduate school, I concentrated my studies on chemical and process addictions as well as the use of technology in art therapy.
