Hi, all!
I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Nancy Gerber in person at the AATA conference in Portland.
She recommended reaching out to this community of fellow art therapists who are passionate about research!
My dream (and now my dissertation topic) is to increase art therapists' research literacy in order to build confidence and clinical decision-making.
I'm launching The Art Therapy Lab Newsletter – a monthly resource designed to help art therapists like us become confident research consumers.
Here's what you'll get:
Strategies for reading and understanding research articles
Tips for evaluating research quality and relevance to practice
A supportive community of research-curious art therapists
What makes The Art Therapy Lab different?
This isn't just about recruiting participants for studies. It's about building your research literacy skills so you can critically engage with the studies that shape our field. It's about promoting you as a researcher, when you feel ready to take the leap.
Whether you're a student, educator, clinician, or researcher yourself, The Art Therapy Lab will help you feel more confident navigating art therapy research.
We're building our community of inaugural "Lab Rats," and I'd love to meet you!

Questions? Feel free to reach out – I'd love to connect!
