What art therapie does

Art Thérapie Belgique is a privately-held Belgian therapy directory and referral platform founded in 2015 and operating as a marketplace that connects individuals seeking mental health and creative therapy services with independent practitioners across Belgium. The company aggregates 30+ therapists offering art therapy, coaching, hypnotherapy, NLP, psychoanalysis, gestalt therapy, and related modalities through a searchable, location-organized website. The platform serves two principal segments: end-user clients (children, adolescents, adults, and seniors seeking non-verbal or creative therapeutic approaches for conditions including psychosomatic disorders, addictions, mild depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma) and independent therapists seeking client acquisition and operational support.

The platform's technology consists of a WordPress-based directory website organized by Belgian geography (Brussels, Liège, Namur, Hainaut, Antwerp, Luxembourg, Walloon Brabant, Flemish Brabant, and online), with multilingual therapist options covering French, Dutch, English, German, and Spanish. Online appointment scheduling is delivered via integration with Logidesk, while backend services for psychologists, psychotherapists, and hypnotherapists are provided by Privium. The ecosystem also includes "Cabinet à Louer," a related platform offering equipped cabinet rentals to practitioners, deepening the practitioner services offering beyond directory referrals.

Revenue mechanics are not publicly disclosed. Pricing is set by individual therapists rather than the platform, and no subscription terms, listing fees, or commission rates are disclosed on the website. Based on available evidence, monetization appears to rely on therapist directory and referral fees combined with ecosystem services such as cabinet rentals. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, no parent company, no institutional investors, and no published financial information; ownership and management team details are also absent from public sources.
