Have you always felt like a square peg in a round hole? Does the world not feel safe to just be you? Or maybe it's your child that's not getting anywhere in talk therapy because they just don't feel like talking? Art Therapy may be the answer! We help you gain a new perspective and see your problems with fresh eyes. The creative process is a powerful form of expression enabling you to release the tension and stress in your body, look at the tangible object you created, and learn about yourself on a deeper level. It is this insight that empowers you to step into the the most authentic version of yourself and live your best life!
Our team of experienced and qualified Art Therapists will support you or your child navigate challenges you may be facing including depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, self harm, suicidal ideation, substance use, eating disorders and more. We are a neurodivergent-affirming, anti-oppressive, social justice and disability justice-oriented practice.
We believe that you have the power to make the changes you feel are needed to lead a more authentic life and it is our job to serve as a guide for you on this journey. No experience with art making is necessary to benefit from Art Therapy. We invite you to visit our website to learn more about our amazing team and schedule a free therapist matching call.
