This paper explores the integration of generative AI into the field of art therapy. Leveraging proven text-to-image models, we introduce a novel technical design to complement art therapy. The resulting AI-based tools shall enable patients to refine and customize their creative work, opening up new avenues of expression and accessibility. Using three illustrative examples, we demonstrate potential outputs of our solution and evaluate them qualitatively. Furthermore, we discuss the current limitations and ethical considerations associated with this integration and provide an outlook into future research efforts. Our implementations are publicly available at this https URL
