COMMUNITY ARTS
Our Mission
Community Arts Therapy is an art and creative play-based therapy center. Our vision is to connect children, teens, and adults with caring, artistic, and responsive therapists who value a blend of traditional and alternative therapies.
Together we want to help you create a care plan customizable for individuals, couples, or families. We use this as a map towards creating the loving and stable life that we know you and your loved ones deserve.
Our clinicians provide a safe and compassionate place for clients to explore themselves and their relationships with others. We use evidence based tools like: art therapy, play therapy and other resilience building activities that support each client's individual needs. We assist with issues such as, loss and grief, trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, and many others.

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. ​
