As we continue to grow, we are looking for well-trained, talented and compassionate creative arts therapists who are dedicated to helping clients reach their full potential. We believe in healthy work/life balance not only for our clients, but for our therapists as well.

All therapists are responsible for their own caseloads, either at the part-time or full-time level with supervision.

No need to prospect for new clients; we match clients with you. The Center for Creative Arts Therapy has a separate intake department that manages all new client inquiries.

Strong support staff. In addition to our strong intake and billing departments, we have administrative support staff that handle marketing, office maintenance, trainings and events.
