Abstract	Sarah McGee's major contribution to the profession of art therapy was her use of traditional African healing practices in her work with clients. Her immersive training as a ndeppkat (spiritual healer) and Lébou Ndepp rituals in Senegal offered a foundation for her approach to therapy. These rituals informed her work, even in secular settings, through attention to the whole client (bio-psychosocial) and community involvement. The significance and implications of McGee's pioneering efforts for contemporary art therapists include adopting a holistic perspective, involving the community for treating individuals, incorporating drumming, and collaborating with spiritual healers.
