Bethanne’s journey to becoming a Philadelphia art therapist
My name is Bethanne Frazer, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Art Therapist. I joined CFR because of its 90+ year history in our community as a provider of effective therapeutic services.
Many express that they feel comfortable talking with me and do not feel judged for what they are experiencing. That is because I am not judging you; we are all human and complicated. I understand the small differences, varying perspectives, and ways of experiencing life.
My identity as a practicing visual artist supports the unique qualities that I bring to both disciplines. I was interested in therapy because of art therapy. Now, I work as an art therapist in Philadelphia. I offer both talking and art therapy; sometimes, I combine them if it helps the person and situation.
Creating art helps us find ourselves, express challenging thoughts and emotions, and visually represent our experiences.
My goal is to make connections with you, build self-awareness and insight, and demystify ourselves from ourselves.
I can help you achieve your goals by identifying negative thoughts and behaviors that may be causing issues. I will also guide you in making intentional changes and acting toward achieving your desired outcomes in life.
Life is a journey and I want you to welcome self-exploration, not fear it.
What are my credentials?
Psychology Today advises finding an art therapist with a master’s degree in psychotherapy and visual arts. That said, here is what the letters after my name mean.
- MS: Masters of Science in counseling psychology, clinical psychology, clinical counseling, or educational psychology
- LPC: Licensed Professional Counselor
- NCC: National Certified Counselor Certification
- ATR-P: Registered Art Therapist – Provisional
