Praise for Art Therapy on Hudson:
"As a result of my therapy with Mia de Bethune, I actually learned to express art that had been locked inside of me for over 20 years. I'm doing pottery and collage and have started painting again." Miriam S., Boynton Beach, FL
"Look at the good you've done. You've really helped me in so many ways. My eye has really developed and I've even had a photo in an exhibit. You are a success at what you do!"
Susan R., Bronx, NY
"Mia de Bethune is a phenomenal helping professional who inspires creativity in the populations she serves. Having had the opportunity to work with her and the teen boys under her supervision, providing my creative services was a welcome opportunity. Ms. de Bethune is a patient and earnest listener, who is honest and dependable, which allows this population to feel safe and open to the creative offerings made available to them. She is a consummate professional and a sterling example to her profession as a Licensed Creative Arts therapist."
Barbara B., Poetry therapist, North Brooklyn Health Network
