Art Therapy OC was established in 2012 and describes its approach with the phrases “Art is Therapy, Art is Expression, Art is FUN” and “Art is for everyone; everyone is a creative artist.” The program states that it is a holistic alternative to talk therapy and that it does not provide psychotherapy. Sessions and workshops can take place at the studio, off-site, or virtually, and gift cards are available. Art Therapy OC has been voted five years in a row as OC’s “Best Creative Kids Camp” and “Best Art Class!” and can be followed on Instagram and Facebook @ArtTherapyOC.
Art Therapy OC was created and is led by Diana Shabtai, Psy.D., ATR-BC, also known as “Miss.Dee.” Her background includes a Fine Arts major at Academy of Art in San Francisco, a BA in Business Communications with minors in Organizational Communications and Gerontology from Chapman University, an MA in Clinical Art Therapy from Long Island University, an MA in Marriage & Family Therapy and a Doctorate Degree (Psy.D.) in MFT from the California School of Professional Psychology in Irvine, and Board Certification as an Art Therapist (ATR-BC). She is fluent in Spanish and has over 20 years of experience in art therapy, psychology, and business, working with all ages, families, groups, and in various populations and settings.
Art Therapy OC’s mission is to help participants explore the world of art and find positive ways to express themselves creatively, using art as a tool, outlet, and coping mechanism for healthy expression that can be used in everyday life. The studio often features various artists and organizations at workshop events that focus on better living, and it partners and collaborates with many local therapists, centers, and organizations. Diana frequently volunteers at non-profits, clinics, hospitals with patients and families, local schools and universities, home school organizations, Girl and Boy Scouts, wellness centers, and corporate wellness programs, and there are photos of recent and numerous magazine publications within and by the OC community.
