Send us a text This week on Art Therapy in Process, we’re talking therapists’ favorite things from fidgets we actually use, to art supplies we swear by, to comfort items that somehow regulate everyone in the room. Somewhere along the way…we may have accidentally created a holiday shopping list…. and exposed the underground Pittsburgh Plant Trade. Support the show
Send us a text It’s that time of year when therapists are holding space, dodging holiday chaos, and apparently tracking full moon energy like weather reports. We talk about what it’s really like being a therapist around the holidays, the emotional weirdness of moon cycles, and the therapy animals who somehow keep us grounded. A little humor, a little magic, and a lot of real talk. Support the show
Send us a text In this “mailbag” episode, we attempt to answer your questions… but quickly detour into talking about Pittsburgh pride, childhood nostalgia, and of course Mr. Rogers. Consider this your cozy, hometown-flavored chat about community, kindness, creative roots, and why Pittsburgh just hits different.
Send us a text A candid conversation with Tracy Weitkamp, LCPAT on what art therapy really looks like across settings, and all the things grad school didn’t prepare us for. We unpack how therapists react (or don’t) in sessions and in life, and the very human side of doing this work.
Send us a text Navigating friendships as adults is…. an adventure. In this episode, we dive into how relationships shift over time, how boundaries deepen connection, and what friendship looks like for therapists in and out of the therapy room. Add in a little Gen X and millennial humor and some gentle chaos and you’ve got Art Therapy in Process at its finest.
Send us a text In this episode, Ann and Matt sit down with artist and art therapist Sara Roizen, MA, ATR-BC, LCAT, to explore what happens when creative practice moves beyond the studio walls. From clinical work to community-based art groups, Sara shares insights on connection, process, and the power of group creativity. And yes, they also talk about Grape Nuts…. because nourishment comes in many forms.
Send us a text Therapists tell ghost stories…. kind of. Ann and Matt swap tales from inpatient units, share community mental health horrors, and find the humor in the haunting parts of the job. Therapy gets spooky (and silly) in this Halloween episode of Art Therapy in Process.
Send us a text This week, we dive into what it’s like to live inside a therapist’s brain: balancing parenting, creative expression, and emotional awareness all at once. Ann and Matt explore how personal art supports their growth as therapists and humans, the parallels between raising kids and holding space for clients, and why even the Muppets have something to teach us about emotional depth and humor.
Send us a text Ann and Matt sit down with their first guest, Christopher Morrison, a licensed professional counselor and board-certified music therapist, to talk about what it really means to “show up” as a therapist both online and offline. Together they dive into the realities of being a therapist on social media, finding the balance between public presence and personal privacy, and how our human side naturally shows up in the work we do every day. It’s an honest, thoughtful, and funny look...
Send us a text In this episode of Art Therapy in Process, Ann and Matt explore the theme of control. What it looks like to hold space as therapists while also navigating their own personal challenges. They reflect on how the art process can provide grounding and a sense of stability when life feels overwhelming, and Ann shares insight into her own art practice as a way of staying balanced for herself and her clients.
Send us a text In this episode of Art Therapy in Process, Ann and Matt break down what it takes to become an art therapist….from the education and training requirements to the ways we market ourselves as professionals. We dive into the important distinction between art therapy and art as therapy, and talk about how artwork itself becomes part of the process in session with clients.
Send us a text In our very first episode of Art Therapy in Process, we set out to talk about art therapy… but instead the conversation wandered. We ended up talking about therapists on social media, imposter syndrome, being parents and therapists, those awkward cancellation fees, and of course….”what are we even doing?” This is just the beginning, and we’d love for you to help shape where we go next. Just like in session, we want you to be a part of the process. What do you want to hear us ge...
