Professional Information: Diane Lichtenberg-Scanlan:

Diane (DeeDee) Lichtenberg-Scanlan MCAT, A.T.R.-BC, LCAT graduated from Hahnemann Medical College with a Master's degree in Creative Art Therapies. This was an innovative degree twenty-five years ago when it proposed a team approach utilizing all of the creative therapies (dance, music, art) in conjunction with the more main stream psychotherapeutic modalities. In Philadelphia she had the unique experience to work with a number of institutions who were forerunners in integrating alternative therapies. DeeDee has been fortunate to work with many populations and age groups in a variety of organizations and institutions, (Chester-Crozier Hospital Psychiatric Unit, Carrier Clinic, The Wood School, United Cerebral Palsy of NYC and Suffolk County, the Sid Jacobson JCC). Her professional philosophy is to use art both diagnostically and therapeutically, and she believes that we have just started to see the magic and benefit of the arts in our society.
