Featured in Westchester Family Magazine! Supporting Special Needs Families Through Art Therapy

I’m thrilled to share that my business, Beth Patane Art Therapy, is featured in the April issue of Westchester Family Magazine — on pages 26 and 27! 🥳 This special edition is all about supporting families of children with special needs, and I’m honored to be part of a community that’s making a real difference in the lives of kids and parents alike.
Being included in Westchester Family’s Special Needs Issue and Directory means so much — not just for visibility, but for the chance to let more families know that creative, effective support is out there.
Why Art Therapy Works for Neurodiverse Children
Many of the families I work with have children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, anxiety, sensory processing challenges, and other developmental or emotional needs. Traditional talk therapy isn’t always the best fit — and that’s where art therapy truly shines.
Through drawing, painting, sculpting, and imaginative play, kids can express what’s going on inside without having to find the right words. I often see children gain confidence, reduce meltdowns, and improve their ability to process emotions just by having a safe, creative space each week.
What Makes My Practice Unique?
✔️ Over 25 years of experience
✔️ Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT)
