Jennifer Albright Knash is the Chair of the Art Therapy/Counseling program at Southwestern College. She currently works with children, adolescents, and adults in a community practice in South Milwaukee, Wisconsin with a focus on cumulative trauma. She graduated from Southwestern College with an M.A. in Art Therapy/Counseling and has continued to utilize the transformational education she received in how she provides services for healing and in recognizing the creativity and resiliency within her clients.
One of Dr. Albright Knash’s favorite quotes is “In the haunted house of life, art is the only stair that doesn’t creak.” (Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All) This has been apparent in the way that she has worked with clients in many different settings for nearly twenty years. She is enthusiastic about reconnecting individuals with their creativity and the healing potential of art. She maintains her own art practice as well as a deep connection to nature and spirituality.
