Join us for an engaging Art Therapy Alumni Panel featuring Tyler graduates who have carved unique paths in the field. This conversation brings together alumni working across art therapy and related therapeutic arts practices to share their personal journeys, career decisions, challenges, and insights into supporting others through creative practice.
Charlotte Calautti graduated from Temple University/Tyler School of Art in December 2021 with a degree in Art Therapy, and later earned her master’s degree in Art Therapy from Marywood University. She is currently an Art Therapist at The Lincoln Center for Family and Youth, where she provides school-based counseling services for students in grades 1–12 through both individual and group sessions. Charlotte is currently working toward her ATR-P, with plans to pursue ATR-BC and LPC licensure as she continues to grow in the field.
Jillian Cantz holds a master’s degree in Art Therapy from Marywood University and is currently working toward her ATR-BC credential. She currently holds her ATR-P (Registered Art Therapist–Provisional) and works under Pyramid Healthcare through High Focus Centers and Seeds of Hope Partial Hospitalization (PHP). As a travel Art Therapist with the Holistic and Creative Arts Team, Jillian facilitates approximately 15 groups each week across several locations, working with a wide range of populations and age groups, from adolescents to older adults. Her work includes adult and adolescent mental health, eating disorders, co-occurring disorders, and DBT-focused trauma tracks. Jillian approaches her practice through a humanistic, person-centered, eclectic, and trauma-informed lens, using both art as therapy and art psychotherapy to meet the needs of each population she serves.
Paloma Collins is an art teacher and aspiring art therapist who graduated from Temple University with her B.A. in Art Therapy in 2024. Since graduating, she has been teaching art to children and currently works at Philly Art Center. Paloma draws on her art therapy background to support early childhood development and holistic wellness, and she plans to continue exploring the connections between artmaking and developmental support through a master’s degree in Art Therapy.
Students will have the opportunity to hear firsthand about different routes into the profession, gain practical advice, and ask questions about education, career development, and the realities of working in the field. Whether you are considering graduate school or exploring alternative pathways, this panel offers valuable perspectives and inspiration.
