Art therapy regulations
 

Please expedite the credential process for Art therapists in Virginia.  Mental Health needs across all demographics in the state of Virginia are very high and Art therapist should be included to the list of clinicians available.   This would improve access to care for many more who need it, and it would open up more appropriate jobs to increase job satisfaction, job retention and reimbursement for Art therapists- issues that are sorely lacking in our State.
