There is an increasing interest in expressive therapies as part of holistic patient care for individuals with mental illness. However, the perspectives of mental health professionals on integrating such interventions into mainstay treatments remain limited. We used an online survey to explore the attitudes of mental health professionals towards implementing expressive therapies for people with mental illness. Participants (n=56) identified major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder as conditions most likely to benefit from intervention with expressive therapies. Expressive writing and visual arts therapy were found to be the most well-known therapeutic approaches. Importantly, lack of insurance coverage was identified as the primary barrier to integrating these treatments into their practices. These findings suggest that mental health professionals see a role for expressive therapies in mental health care. Ensuring access to these therapies will require an expansion of services to promote inclusion and utilization.
