Professional registration
for REAT® and REACE®

One of IEATA®’s key missions is to promote professional excellence and standards of practice for practitioners and consumers. To that end, we established the titles of Registered Expressive Arts Therapist (REAT) and Registered Expressive Arts Consultant/Educator (REACE®), and developed screening and registration processes to certify qualified members.

All REATs and REACE®s agree to abide by a code of ethics, an expression of values and goals that help us define our behavior as a professional community.

How to apply for a REAT® or REACE®

Applying for a REAT® or REACE® credential requires two main parts:

  1. Submitting a form through our online member database system, along with the $120 application fee. Click here to apply and then select “REAT/REACE® Application Registration.”
  2. Submitting all required application materials to the appropriate committee, REAT® (reat@ieata.org) or REACE® (reace@ieata.org). Please email either of those committees, or the IEATA Membership Committee (membership@ieata.org), with any questions.

We appreciate your cooperation, diligence, and patience through this process!

Although we do not offer a formal track for practicing expressive artists, we value their significant contributions to the field, and encourage and support their work through our Artist Committee.
