Letter from the President:
Welcome! Our new website is a portal into the world of art therapy in Louisiana, and we appreciate
your interest and involvement. The Louisiana Art Therapy Association (LATA) has entered a phase
of growth and expansion, as you can see by visiting the various pages on this site. There are art
therapists throughout the state, and although the size of our membership is modest, our hearts are
huge and we are a great force for the communities we serve.
The Mission of the Louisiana Art Therapy Association is to promote the awareness and use of art
as a healing and life enhancing process, and to exchange information for the advancement of
research and training in the field, while upholding the standards of professional competence.
As we look forward to the next two years, our focus turns to increasing LATA’s professional
presence in our state. We plan to do this by reaching out to our communities through presentations,
art therapy events, professional literature, and an informative and user-friendly website. We
encourage you to explore this site to learn more about art therapists and the services they offer in
Louisiana. If you are interested in hosting an art therapy presentation in your community or have
questions about our organization, feel free to contact me in order to start your own personal
connection with LATA.
Thank you for your interest!
Holly M. Wherry
President, Louisiana Art Therapy Association
