Ariel Cohen, MA, LMFT at the Mirrors of the Mind 8 reception held at Castelli Art Space, Los Angeles, in front of artwork by Kristin Zethren, PhD

The mission of LACPA’s Arts, Creativity, and Culture Committee is to use the arts and other creative productions as a means of self-care, psychological expression, as well as meaningful connection with fellow professionals and the community at large. The arts provide a universal language that illuminates while helping to heal personal traumas and social injustices. The arts are also a tool for presenting and bridging cultural diversity. This committee provides opportunities for clinicians to express themselves creatively as well as share their creative productions with others. The committee will also identify and support creative productions in the community whose mission involves the promotion and improvement of mental health. Thanks to the committee members: Alok Srivastava, PhD and Grace E Hazeltine, PhD, Co-Chairs; Terry Marks-Tarlow, PhD and Pamela McCrory, PhD, Founding Co-Chairs; Ariel Cohen, MA, LMFT; and Kirstin Frantzich, PhD.
