As an RCC and Art Therapist, I'd like offer an apporch that not just talking about problems, we invite your internal voices to "step out" and take shape.
Sometimes, the challenges you face are too complex for words alone. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps it feels like different parts of you are in conflict and you are looking for a way to untangle these feelings, find clarity, and reclaim a sense of inner peace. You need a space where you don’t have to carry this burden in isolation, and where your struggles are met with curiosity rather than judgment.

Do you feel like your anxiety rules your mind and you have no control? You may constantly battle racing thoughts, struggling to focus, and feeling restless. While striving for excellence and witnessing others' success, you're often left feeling anxious, inadequate, and behind. As a high achiever and perfectionist, even when you perform well and receive praise, you still doubt your achievements, feeling like an imposter or as though there's more you should be doing. Communicating your feelings and needs to others is incredibly challenging because you feel guilty asking for help and fear you may burden others.

Welcome! I'm Jessie.
A little bit about me is that I immigrated to Canada when I was 5, and grew up across a mix of cities. I was also raised in a multi-faith household.
In my own communities, I’ve seen the impact of generations of trauma and low mental health support. It’s not easy trying to navigate everything all at once: your environment, your people, yourself.

Art Therapy Counsellors
How does art therapy work?
The process of making art allows people to express themselves. Art-making can take many forms, such as painting, collage, or sculpting. The therapist asks questions that the work elicits, such as how the person felt while creating their piece, or if any memories surfaced that they can discuss. The therapist will then work with the patient to process their experience, understand themselves better, and work toward change.
Does art therapy help with trauma?
Art therapy can be a valuable treatment option for those suffering from trauma. Traumatic experiences such as combat, rape, or childhood abuse can be so painful that articulating them can be too scary or painful; creating art allows people to express themselves without words, and tell their story in a different way. The physical nature of creating art can also help people feel rooted in the body, which may benefit those who feel disconnected from their body in the aftermath of trauma.
How long does art therapy last?
The duration of art therapy varies, but a common length for treatment is 10 to 15 weekly sessions. Some people may see improvement in just a few weeks, while others may choose to remain in therapy longer term. Patients should periodically discuss their goals with their therapist to make sure the two are aligned on process and progress.
What are the limitations of art therapy?
Art therapy is helpful for many people, but a limitation is that it doesn’t have as robust an evidence base as other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy. The evidence on art therapy is mixed; some research demonstrates its benefits, while other research suggests that it has little impact on patients.
