Loyola Marymount University's Marital and Family Therapy With Specialized Training in Clinical Art Therapy Graduate department offers students an innovative and creative program which leads to a Master of Arts in Marital and Family Therapy with a specialization in the art therapy modality.
Our students are trained to integrate their art backgrounds as they acquire skills for psychotherapeutic work with clients, including children, adolescents, adults and families. The training fully prepares students to become practicing marital and family therapists committed to utilizing art processes in their work as psychotherapists.
As one of the first MFT programs in the state to adopt the new 60-unit requirement for licensure, LMU’s Marital and Family Therapy Graduate program is widely regarded as a leader in the areas of art therapy and community service. Both our students and faculty are committed to serving marginalized communities and deepening the intercultural conversation around the delivery of mental health services.
In recent years we have added a community service component to our program,
The Helen B. Landgarten Art Therapy Clinic and expanded our commitment to interculturalism with our
Art Therapy in Mexico summer program and our collaborations with Universidad Iberamerican in Mexico City.
