The childhood years and the child-rearing years are some of the most wonderful, but also the most challenging stages of life.
At Bloom Art Therapy & Counselling we offer the child, teen, and family a space of unconditional acceptance and validation. Through the process of creative expression, the child or teen has a safe space for self-reflection, strength-building and growth. No art experience is required as the focus is on the process of art creation and not the final product.
