About IndiATA Indiana · Art Therapy · Professional Association

IndiATA connects and advances art therapy across Indiana through professional connection, education, public understanding, advocacy, student engagement, and statewide chapter leadership.

The association

Indiana's professional association for art therapy

IndiATA is a nonprofit professional membership association serving Indiana and a state chapter of the American Art Therapy Association.

Art therapy is already part of Indiana's healthcare, mental health, education, community, and professional landscape.

IndiATA connects the people, institutions, information, and professional activity shaping art therapy across the state. The association supports practitioners and students while creating clearer pathways for the public, organizations, professional partners, and policymakers to understand and engage with the profession.

IndiATA is a professional association. It does not provide clinical services, issue professional credentials or state licenses, determine clinical fit, or match individuals with therapists.
