Perhaps occupational therapy. Sounds like a talented student. Alisa Miller Beyer, Ph.D. Assistant Professor, Psychology Dominican University 7900 W.

Hi, I have a student/advisee that I am trying to help figure out some things. She is a lovely young woman who is multi-talented. She is bright and enthusiastic with a love of psychology, plus a double-major in art, plus a coaching certificate (she was set to play semi-pro basketball but a torn ACL quashed that). She wants a career that will combine all of those things. She considered clinical or counseling psych but wants to integrate the art and the movement (she also has a background in dance). She considered sports psychology but feels it's too limiting. We talked about art therapy, but she thinks that's too limiting as well. Plus, she wants to work with children. Can anyone suggest a possible career path that might combine some or all of her talents? I think she holds a great deal of promise, and I want to help her explore some options. Any ideas would be appreciated.
