Oliver Ceasar

Art Therapy Intern
Pronouns: they/them/theirs

Oliver Ceasar is a clinical intern currently pursuing a master’s degree in art therapy and counseling at Drexel University. They hold a bachelor’s degree in film and media arts from American University, where they developed an appreciation for storytelling, identity, and the ways that artmaking can communicate experiences that words alone sometimes cannot.

Before beginning their internship at Moonrise Art Therapy Collective, Oliver has engaged in advocacy and outreach that supports identity-based care and resources through justice work, InReach, an LGBTQ+ non-profit, and MHY Family Services, a mental health non-profit. Throughout their work with children and adolescents in community-based settings, Oliver has witnessed the importance of creating spaces where people feel free to explore, imagine, and be authentically themselves.

Most recently, Oliver was an art therapy practicum student at Jefferson Moss-Magee Rehabilitation Hospital, where they supported individuals across the lifespan. This experience strengthened their understanding of disability and person-centered care, as well as the unique healing power art can have.

Oliver values play, imagination, and creative expression as meaningful parts of the therapeutic process. They pride themselves in creating a warm, collaborative space that honors each person’s unique needs and ways of engaging with the world. They draw from integrative, trauma-informed approaches, incorporating elements of DBT, TF-CBT, and parts work to support emotional regulation and self-understanding. Informed by lived experience navigating identity, access, and systems of care, Oliver brings empathy and cultural humility to their work with clients from diverse backgrounds.

Outside of the therapy space, Oliver is an artist who enjoys jewelry-making, exploring new coffee shops, collecting trinkets, and exploring nature.
