About Me

I’m Dr. Naiara Belart, a certified art therapist, educator, and digital creative working at the intersection of mental health, expressive arts, and emerging technologies.With a Ph.D. in Expressive Arts Therapy (Summa Cum Laude, European Graduate School), I specialize in blending traditional and digital modalities to promote emotional expression, identity exploration, and holistic healing — particularly for individuals navigating eating disorders, obesity, addiction, or neurodiversity (Autism / ADHD).

Currently based at HUG – Hôpitaux Universitaires de Genève, I facilitate art therapy groups that integrate traditional expressive modalities with emerging technologies, including VR, robotics, interactive media, and digital storytelling. Each session becomes a space where inner voices, challenges, and strengths are made visible and co-created.

Alongside my clinical work at HUG, I am deeply committed to digital education and creative empowerment. My teaching experience spans international contexts — from lecturing in 3D computer graphics at the University of Science and Technology Beijing to working as a 3D artist in New York prior to transitioning into art therapy. In Geneva, I teach Digital Citizenship and Robotics across various public and private schools, and serve as a STEAM instructor at École la Découverte, Collège du Léman, and Ecolint | International School of Geneva. My educational approach blends technical innovation with emotional literacy, helping children and adolescents develop self-awareness, digital ethics, and creative expression through technology.

Since September 2020, I have also been supervising group social skills sessions for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) at Autisme Genève a continuation of the research I conducted for my doctoral thesis, "Engaging Visual Thinkers on the Autism Spectrum: An intervention using digital arts in expressive arts therapy to improve emotion recognition and communication skills, and to develop cognitive, technical, and social capabilities."

Multilingual

I work internationally and am always eager to collaborate on creative, interdisciplinary projects that explore the future of healing and education in a digital age.
