As a Board Certified Art Therapist - I support the approval of the proposed regulations for state-wide licensure. This will provide more credibility to the value of the profession; increase ethical practices of Art Therapy throughout the state; and is a step in the right direction for expanding accessibility for the community/general public to receive Art Therapy services. I have left the state of VA now, and see art therapy licensure as an important step in growing the number of art therapists in Virginia.
