Art Therapist:
Calliandra Perry, MA, LLPC, ATR-P

Art Therapist Calli Perry has her Master’s degree from Wayne State University in Counseling and Art Therapy. She greatly enjoys taking part in the journey that art therapy can bring each person, whether that is through one-on-one sessions or in groups. Group work is where she feels art therapy really shines, with art acting as a primary common factor between all group members, allowing the cancer journey to shift to secondary for the length of the art therapy session. Communicating through art can sometimes be easier than using words, and Calli believes that art can unite us all; we all have creativity flowing through us, we just might require a little extra help to channel it!
