Role you're checking

Art Therapist

Healthcare

Art Therapists in India use structured visual art-making — drawing, painting, clay, collage, mask-making — as the primary therapeutic medium to support clients with trauma, PTSD, autism spectrum disorder, grief, psychosis, and developmental disabilities. Practice contexts include NIMHANS Bengaluru (Department of Mental Health Education), St. John's Medical College Bangalore, Christ University Bangalore (MSc Counselling Psychology with expressive arts), private mental health clinics, special schools, and NGO settings. The role sits at the intersection of psychotherapy and creative expression: practitioners apply art-based projective assessments (Draw-A-Person, House-Tree-Person, Mandala assessment), design individual and group expressive arts protocols, and work within psychiatry and special education multidisciplinary teams. India's art therapy field is growing rapidly through the Indian Association of Art Therapists (IAAT) and international training pathways, with practitioners like Pooja Burman and Saira Sayed building private and institutional practices.
