Welcome to my website. I am excited to connect with individuals and organizations  globally, who are interested in art therapy and global mental health. Whether you are looking for an art therapist, you are interested in how art therapy practice can be used in low resource, humanitarian, and emergency communities, or you are an expressive art therapist interested in learning about global art therapy, you have come to the right place. 

My name is Alexis Decosimo. I am the Founder and Executive Director of the 501 (c) 3 nonprofit Playing to Live. Additionally, I have a private practice in Asheville, NC and online, where I work with clients of all ages and backgrounds in NC, SC, GA, and FL. Alongside my clinical practice, I work as a global consultant for organizations seeking to build mental health programs and research, and I am available for speaking engagements, conference presentations, and collaboration through individual consultancy.
