Free Art Therapy groups are held on the last Saturday of each month at Dallas Art Therapy, and are open to individuals 18 and older. These groups provide a safe and supportive space for self-expression, healing, and personal growth, guided by a trained art therapist.
Art Therapy uses the creative process to help individuals explore and address emotions, behaviors, and challenges. You don’t need any prior artistic experience to benefit—this is about the journey, not the finished product.
Andrea Davis is the founder of Dallas Art Therapy 501(c)3, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing art therapy services to the underserved. With 18 years of clinical experience, she works in private practice at Davis Art Therapy and Counseling and serves as a supervisor for art therapy and Licensed Professional Counseling Associates.
Davis has actively contributed to the field of art therapy through her involvement in professional organizations and leadership roles. She served as a two-term president of the North Texas Art Therapy Association and spent three years as the Honors Chairperson for the American Art Therapy Association. Currently, she plays a vital role on the National Exam Development and Standard Setting Committee with the Art Therapy Credentialing Board and serves as a reviewer for the American Art Therapy Association Conference Committee.
In addition to her dedication to the field, Davis has shared her expertise through her written contributions. She authored a chapter titled “Professional and Ethical Use of Expressive Arts,” featured in the book “Ethical and Legal Issues in Counseling Children and Adolescents” published by Routledge in 2017. Her recent chapter, “Art Supplies and Infection Control: The Tools of Our Trade,” is included in the newly published book “Pediatric Medical Art Therapy” by Jessica Kingsley Publishers in 2021.
Outside of her professional endeavors, Andrea enjoys creating art in her free time. She has showcased her artistic talents by painting murals in Dallas and at the CIDMA Museum in Corleone, Sicily and an art quilt at McKesson Corporate Learning Center in Irving, TX.
