Hollie French Art Therapy & Counseling

A Masters degree is required for entry level practice in Art Therapy. Art Therapists are also required to obtain national certification through the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB). Art Therapists who are certified through the ATCB are then Registered Art Therapists (ATRs) or Board Certified Registered Art Therapists (ATR-BC), depending of level of credentialing.

I take a flexible approach to treatment based on each client's individual needs and goals. In addition to Art Therapy, I am also experienced in traditional counseling methods. I utilize a number of therapeutic perspectives, which I tailor to you. Here is a bit more about some of the approaches I use most often and what I find helpful about each of them.

I am currently a Blue Cross/Blue Shield and Louisiana Healthcare Connections provider, but may be able to provide out-of-network services, if you have those benefits. Each service is outlined below to give you a bit more information about what to expect. In general, however, each session may have a combination of art therapy and talk therapy depending on the client's needs/wishes.

I became interested in Art Therapy from the moment I heard of its existence. It combined my interests in art with my desire to help others. Art making and other forms of creative expression have always been my "go-to" methods for coping with stress and overcoming difficulties.

Since completing my graduate training, I have loved working with others to help them rediscover and express their inner creativity, increase their awareness of their own strengths, and improve their overall ability to live and grow successfully.I also believe that learning never stops in life, and this is true in therapy as well.
