DeeDee Lichtenberg-Scanlan MCAT, LCAT, ATR-BC, ATCS, graduated from Hahnemann Medical College with a Masters degree in Creative Arts Therapies in the 1970's. This was an innovative degree forty five years ago when it proposed a team approach utilizing all of the creative therapies (dance, music, art) in conjunction with the more main stream psycho therapeutic modalities. In her career she had the unique opportunity to work with a number of institutions who were forerunners in integrating alternative therapies. In her private practice DeeDee uses the artwork both diagnostically and therapeutically, she works with adults and adolescents virtually and in her private and fully equipped studio space. DeeDee is currently a professor at Long Island University in their Graduate Clinical Art Therapy Program where she continues to educate and train future therapists.

Our History: Who we are
North Shore Art Therapy Supervision was established fifteen years ago when it became clear that there was a shortage of Art Therapists who were offering supervision and mentor-ship. While there were few situations to choose from, the number of therapists both new to the field and seasoned art therapists looking for guidance, was growing. In order to meet this growing demand, NSAT was opened. The goal for the this group is to foster individual and professional growth. Due to the special nature of our field, DeeDee is uniquely qualified to supervise creative arts therapists with her 45 years of commitment to the field. She is also one of the few Certified supervisors in the creative arts (ATCS) in the New York area.
