Fulltime Diploma Graduates

2003 - Brazil

It’s been now 2 years since I am back to Brazil and since then I have an Art Therapy private practice that is going really well. People around here do not know much about art therapy so I need to educate them about it. It is good because I need to be always studying and researching. And now I am facing a new challenge, which is to set an art therapy program at a Bilingual (English/Portuguese) school in São Paulo where I am working as a counsellor. 

Because they never heard of art therapy and schools around here do not have such a program I am working hard and trying to gain their trust and hopefully I will convince them!  It hasn’t been easy but my own experience as both an art therapist and a client keeps feeding me with confidence to go on an on.
