The Expressive Therapies Continuum and Deliberate Practice: Improving Outcomes in Art Therapy
July 03, 2026 / 8:15-9:15 AM Pacific Time
Deliberate practice is the focused acquisition of mastery in one’s field
Its techniques have been applied to the achievement of better client outcomes in psychotherapy
Learn how the Expressive Therapies Continuum can help level up your clinical effectiveness in art therapy
You did everything you needed to do in graduate school, but you aren’t sure you’ve got the right techniques to use in treatment
You’re wondering if the letters that come after your name are any guarantee that your client outcomes are what they should be. Imposter syndrome lurks around every corner. It’s hard to imagine a way past this, as you can’t figure out how to fine-tune your work with clients while swimming in a sea of voices that all claim to teach you yet one more technique that will make you shine like a clinical star.
You’d love to have a better way to make sense of what you’re doing with clients
You wish there was a framework that would hold together all your efforts and help you understand where your growing edge is, and such frameworks do exist. The Expressive Therapies Continuum is one such model—or so you’ve heard, but you’ve read about it and aren’t sure how to make it work for you.
I’m Megan, and I help therapists understand the nuances of the Expressive Therapies Continuum
I studied under the framework’s co-creators and learned how to use it for fine-tuning my clinical work and client outcomes, and now I share this with other therapists who are wondering about the model’s potential for improving their efforts to make a difference in the lives of others—and in their own confidence as helping professionals. The Expressive Therapies Continuum pairs nicely with the targeted mastery of microskills in art therapy, which supports the reduction of imposter syndrome.
Are you ready to explore how the Expressive Therapies Continuum can level up your practice and show you new ways of thinking about what it means to create outcomes?
Please join me for 60 minutes that will help you understand the role of deliberate practice in outcome-informed treatment. What if the Expressive Therapies Continuum is the framework you’ve been waiting for to hold together all your efforts in client care and meet you at your growing edge?
