"Dr. Satterberg demonstrates keen insight into the unique applications for art therapy to the LGBTQ+ population. Art Therapy Kaleidoscope curriculum® is an award-winning training that incorporates best practices in Art Therapy Psychology with culturally sensitive and developmentally appropriate interventions for this underserved population. Kaleidoscope includes interventions application from early stages of questioning, to the ongoing coming out process, and through self-actualization. Dr. Satterberg's trainings include Art Therapy, cultural humility, community engagement, interpersonal and intrapersonal strength building, and a joyous enthusiasm for the therapeutic process with the LGBTQ+ population.  I give the highest recommendation for her trainings and workshops."-Dr. Amy Backos, Chair, Graduate Art Therapy Psychology, Notre Dame de Namur University, Belmont, CA

"This was an excellent presentation of the LGBTQ+ community and I appreciate how well-rounded it was, coming from several directions such as history, support, acceptance, and the divisions within the LGBTQ+ community itself.  The resources were especially helpful to provide to current and future clients." -Graduate Art Therapy Psychology Master's student

"I think the most important and impactful aspect of the Art Therapy Kaleidoscope curriculum® is the depth of it--in contrast to many approaches to "awareness-raising" or "diversity-training" this curriculum is founded on the lived experiences of people in LGBTQ+ community and invites participants to engage in self-study and reflection as a means to clear the way for a more nuanced and action-oriented understanding. Dr. Satterberg sets a great precedent for how we approach multicultural competency in the future." -Dr. Erin Partridge, PhD, MA, ATR-BC

"Missy is an engaging and enthusiastic professor.  Her thoughtfulness in sharing of clinical examples as well as experiences of her own life added to the richness of the course." -Graduate Art Therapy Psychology Master's student

"Dr. Satterberg has developed a rich curriculum that integrates didactic teaching with embodied learning through individual and collective art directives. Learning about, and becoming familiar and comfortable with, the strengths, challenges and needs of the LGBTQ+ community is crucial for all emerging as well as seasoned art therapists. I learned invaluable lessons, both personally and professionally, about my assumptions and biases within a supportive learning community and feel better prepared to meet my clients where they are when they enter both the therapy room and classroom." -Deborah Sharpe, PhD candidate, MA, ATR-BC

"I liked that the course really validated the LGBTQ+ community as one that is part of the broader society. The course did well to address issues and skills that an art therapist needs to be aware of to be able to effectively provide service to the LGBTQ+ community." -Graduate Art Therapy Psychology Master's student

"What I liked most about this course was the spectrum of cultural competency and broad introduction of LGBTQ+ community that was not know before. Also how as a therapist, we can use more cultural humility versus just a cultural competence component. This is achieved by keeping the learning and awareness of this community an ongoing and continuous learning process."- Graduate Art Therapy Psychology Master's student
