The creative arts therapies are a cluster of treatments that each take somewhat different approaches to therapy and separate academic degrees to practice. They often compliment each other because they have a creative foundation. Many prestigious hospitals and clinics have creative arts therapy programs. Some of these therapies can be practiced with a Bachelor's degree while others require more advanced degrees. The Creative Arts Therapies are: Art Therapy, Music Therapy, Dance/Movement Therapy, Drama Therapy, and Creative Writing and Poetry Therapy.
Lynne Julianna Beldegreen is trained to practice Art Therapy and Creative Writing and Poetry Therapy. Lynne also practices play therapy and traditional verbal psychotherapy.
