You may want mental health support because you are fed up with feeling sad, worried, grief, anxious and have bad memories popping up. Maybe you are searching for one on one or group therapy, healing trauma therapy, a psychotherapist in Guelph or simply an art therapist. Clients I work with tend to have PTSD, trauma, depression, grief, narcissistic abuse, anxiety or seek stress reduction techniques. If this sounds like you, please read on. I am Heather Caruso, a trauma counselor, certified narcissistic abuse therapist, registered psychotherapist and art therapist in Guelph Ontario serving clients from Ontario online and in person.

My aim is to help you process negative events, heal trauma, strengthen resilience and move forward. Together, we identify how different thoughts and behaviors may impact your goals. I use a curious, caring and compassionate approach. Together we can help you find your voice and reclaim your power again. I offer talk and/or art therapy. The client chooses.

Art therapy techniques may be combined with other therapies. Tools used are mindfulness, trauma counselling, internal family systems therapy, CBT, DBT, brainspotting, positive coping skills and grounding tools.
