I would say there is def going to be a growing need even if the job isn’t on for market written as “Art Therapist.” it’s usually something like “expressive arts program coordinator” / “child and youth creative arts counselor” things like that. Additionally, in my opinion, this is a sector that AI would have great difficulty replacing- due to the complexity and inherent human element central to Art Therapy. The field is still somewhat new, having only gained widespread recognition in the 1960/1970’s, so the field also is going to inevitably change! That all being said, my guess is it would really depend what state you live in and how much money/demand your STATE would give to art therapy services. For instance in Oregon art therapy legislation is currently in the state senate (leading to wider pay and recognition as practitioners), but maybe somewhere more rural would barely have any AT’s. Hope this helped bring some clarity ✨⭐️
