By David Gussak, PhD, ATR-BC, Former AATA Board Member and 2022 Honorary Lifetime Member

I am honored to host a virtual Continuing Education Series on Art Therapy Supervision in the coming weeks! I will be presenting this three-part series with my colleagues Andrea Davis, LPC-AT-S, ATR-BC, ATCS, and Bani Malhotra, PhD, ATR-BC.

We plan to cover the fundamentals of supervision as well as delve into building professional relationships; navigating ethical concerns; differentiating mentorship and supervision; and more. Together, my co-presenters and I will discuss theoretical perspectives and clinical viewpoints – while sharing our own personal and professional experiences. My goal is to make these sessions dynamic and engaging, so please join us for an energizing learning opportunity and a little fun!
