Can I count supervision and client contact hours if I have completed all my coursework but haven’t completed my thesis or capstone project and am working as an Art Therapist? 

No. Graduation from an art therapy training program that is in compliance with CATA’s education standards is a requirement for registration with CATA. Supervised art therapy and client contact hours are not eligible to be counted towards registration until the student art therapist has completed all the academic, practica, supervision, thesis approval and any other requirement your training program requires for graduation and must be able to provide proof of graduation.
