ART THERAPISTS MAKING THINGS HAPPEN!

Toni Morley, MFT, ATR-BC, has been practicing art therapy in Northern California since 1987. A significant amount of Toni's professional career was spent in the role of Support Group Coordinator with the Alzheimer's Association, where she provided care for patients as well as their families. During this time, Toni facilitated Memories in the Making, an art group specifically for Alzheimer's patients. Toni started and maintained this program at 26 sites, winning her the KRON Jefferson award. 


Toni reflects that her time as an art therapist has been "an amazing journey of discovery and growth." She feels fortunate for the good friendships she has developed in the art therapy community over the past 30+ years. As for the future of art therapists, Toni believes the field is in creative and responsible hands.
