Use our national registry database below to find qualified art therapists with active credentials, including ATR-P, ATR, ATR-BC, and ATCS designations. These credentials are awarded and regulated by the Art Therapy Credentials Board (ATCB) to ensure competence, professionalism, and ethical practice.
If you’re unable to locate a credentialed therapist in your area, please contact ATCB Headquarters for assistance. Employers, credential holders, and consumers may also use the database for free online verification of credential status.
For official documentation of a credential or exam results, submit a verification request through the MyATCB portal. These official verifications confirm credential status and exam scores only.
What ATCB Credentials Represent
Credentials issued by the ATCB reflect a professional’s verified skills, training, and ethical commitment. Each credential is a formal recognition of current competence and compliance with the Code governing Standards of Practice, Eligibility for and Regulation of Credentials, and Disciplinary Procedures. Unlike education or work experience alone, ATCB credentials provide a reliable, third-party validation of a practitioner’s qualifications. The public can trust that individuals holding an ATCB credential have met rigorous standards and are actively upholding them.
