Mirrors of the Mind 11: The Psychotherapist as Artist
From Chaos to Coherence

 

 THIS IS A VIRTUAL ART EXHIBITION!

WE WELCOME ALL MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS & STUDENTS TO SUBMIT!

This is the 11th year that Mirrors of The Mind has been organized by LACPA. Now, in its virtual form, it serves as a space for psychotherapists to demonstrate the power of art in our community and our unique position as mental health professionals to communicate important truths.
Throughout history, the arts have had a unique and powerful role in social change by bringing attention to human suffering and instilling hope. We believe in the liberating power of the arts to promote empathy, catalyze social healing, and promote greater interconnectedness.
