About our founder

Wanda Montemayor (she/her) began Community Art Therapy in 2021. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), a Registered Art Therapist (AT-BC, ATCS), a RPT-S (Registered Play Therapist/ Supervisor), and an Animal Assisted counselor (ACC).

​

Wanda’s brings creative, compassionate, and collaborative care to the Texas community. She has been a therapist and art facilitator dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of young people for over 20 years.

​

Her career began in art education in Austin Independent School District. It was there that public art as a form of community building and healing began. What started off as small projects with after school students in her classrooms has grown into massive public art pieces that center mindfulness, multi-cultural learning, and social-emotional skill building. These projects have shown the profound impact of art within our communities and how useful art can be as a healing tool for children and adults in crisis.

At Community Arts, we believe in the power of collaborative care, which means a dedication to including all of the members of a clients team (family, school, medical and nutritional) in finding solutions and healthy outcomes. ​
