Elizabeth Bellmer
M.A. Psychology, Art Therapy with Mental Health Counseling, 2002
 Elizabeth Bellmer chose Antioch Seattle because of its diverse culture and opportunities to design her learning around her career goals.
"I was looking for a school that would be able to accommodate my work schedule and also would be able to support my personal growth," she says. "I found the educators, staff and administration all available and interested in my personal and professional success."
With her Antioch education, she was able to switch to a career in mental health after working many years in the legal field.
"[Antioch] is a place where individuals are challenged to grow and make a difference in their lives and in the lives of others."
"I have accomplished things during my Antioch experience that I never would have imagined," she says as she describes presentations she has made at national and state conferences and the paper she co-authored for a respected academic journal.
Ask her to describe her best Antioch memory and Bellmer says there are too many to mention. "Becoming a published author certainly tops the list," she adds.
She notes Antioch has been instrumental in her ability to work as an activist for the mentally ill who are incarcerated, making a difference in the lives of those unable to effectively help themselves.
"I would highly recommend Antioch's psychology program," Bellmer says. "It is well thought of in the community. The education is excellent. Students are encouraged and supported to do and be their best. It is a place where individuals are challenged to grow and make a difference in their lives and in the lives of others."
