Lee Ann Thill, MA, ATR-BC, LPC

I have been providing art therapy to people of all ages with a variety of psychological and interpersonal issues for more than 10 years. My specialty is art therapy for people with medical issues, an interest that stems from having lived with type 1 diabetes for more than 30 years. I have been a guest presenter and art workshop facilitator for local, regional and national diabetes groups and events, including the Children with Diabetes Friends for Life Conference, and I organize and facilitate the web-based Diabetes Art Day and World Diabetes Day Postcard Exchange. In addition to my work with the diabetes community, I have led workshops and groups for cancer survivors and fibromyalgia patients.

Outside of my practice, I am Adjunct Professor of Art Therapy at Holy Family University, active in social media as an advocate for diabetes, mental health, and arts in healthcare causes, a painter and mixed-media artist, and a doctoral student in the Expressive Therapies program at Lesley University.

My bachelor’s degree is in fine art from Temple University, and I have an MA in Art Therapy from Drexel University. I am a professional member of the American Art Therapy Association, Art Therapy Alliance, American Diabetes Association, and Society for Arts in Healthcare, and I serve on the Board of the Delaware Valley Art Therapy Association. I received the Ron Hays Presenter’s Award in 2010, and the Innovative Applications of Art Therapy Award in 2012 from the Delaware Valley Art Therapy Association.
