Abstract
Art therapists are currently working to solidify multiple aspects of the profession and become more distinguished from counselors. The development of a conceptual model of art therapist professional identity aims to identify essential components that make up an art therapist’s professional identity. Emerging domains and key ideas were identified in a review of the literature and triangulated with the interview responses of participants. The domains identified in this study as pivotal to art therapist professional identity include Engagement Behaviors, Education and Training, Theoretical Approach, and Art Making.
