Activity therapy? Creative Arts Therapy? Rec therapy?

How do you become certified/registered in any of these? (I am in GA). I know play and art therapy generally require a Master's degree. Would I qualify for anything similar to these, such as cert. in activity, rec, or, creative arts therapy with an undergrad in counseling/psychology? I have read a lot on play and art therapy and been to several professional seminar training sessions. I use a lot of hands on activities in my current social services position to help kids learn skills such as expressing feelings, developing social skills, etc. b/c it is what children naturally respond to, but of course, I cannot actually do "therapy". I do plan on going on to grad school in the future, but in the meantime, I was wondering what opportunities might be available.
