A Licensed Professional Clinical Counseling Corporation
Healing acute & chronic mental illness with trauma-informed, creative arts therapies for 35 years
Reliable Care, No Matter What
For the past three decades, CARTSS has brought evidence-based creative arts therapies to hospitals and community organizations throughout Southern California.
We’ve led more than 80,000 group therapy sessions, established a 99.1% delivery rate- even throughout the height of the COVID-19 pandemic- and watched individuals and organizations blossom into their full potential with our unique, reliable, and compassionate patient care.
We have a uniquely effective approach to mental health care.
When you partner with CARTSS, your organization is guaranteed a regular rotation of board-certified creative arts therapists who specialize in a range of therapeutic modalities.
Expert Care From Board-Certified Creative Arts Therapists
Most hospitals and treatment centers have the budget for just a single in-house activity therapist. So, they are limited to a single specialization, which can’t possibly effectively treat all of your patients. But without having to pay the equivalent of multiple salaries, a CARTSS contract ensures that your patients will receive regular access to a range of creative arts therapies that may include music, art, recreational, and dance/movement therapy.
Our skilled therapists are adept at creating a positive and effective therapeutic experience for patients struggling even with the most severe mental health concerns, personality disorders, and substance abuse issues.
Nurses are always relieved to tell us, “It’s so calm & quiet on the unit while you’re here.”
Reliable Group Therapy & Social Services Support
A CARTSS contract ensures regular group therapy that your patients and staff alike can count on. This stability fosters greater trust and cooperation between patients and staff, relieves the pressure on your in-house multidisciplinary treatment team, and keeps you in regulatory compliance regarding patient care.
Burnout and turnover are reduced, and your human resources department doesn’t need to hemorrhage time and budget on recruitment and onboarding. And, critically, mandated group therapy doesn’t disappear whenever census is down and the activity therapist role is first to be called off.
The stability we bring means less friction and churn for you, happier patients, happier staff, a happier community, and a happier bottom line.
