Art therapy-  

Is not covered by many insurances, but is a legitimate form of complementary therapy with a university masters degree or higher, and there is a board certification process.  Art therapy is an effective means to help with adolescents and younger in diagnosis and to help with therapy.  Depression and behavioral issues can be addressed by art therapy but pain per se is not addressed by art therapy.  Painbytes assessment: neutral.  It is a university based program of study but there are not enough studies to support the use in pain management.  Depression treatment may be treated with this therapy.    http://www.arttherapy.org
