Art Therapy
Explore, Process, and Heal Through Creative Expression
What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is a creative, evidence-based approach to healing that bridges counselling with the expressive arts. It engages the mind, body, and spirit—helping individuals explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences through painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, and other visual forms. When words are difficult or emotions feel overwhelming, art offers another language for healing and self-discovery.
Grounded in trauma-informed practice, art therapy allows people to process what they’re feeling in a safe, supportive, and nonverbal way. This approach is particularly supportive for those navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, depression, or stress, offering a path to healing that doesn’t rely solely on verbal communication.
Sessions are led by Rebecca Rowley, a skilled Art Therapist and Reiki Master with a kind, non-judgemental, and compassionate presence. In person and virtual appointments available.
**Art therapy with Rebecca is billable under counselling through most major insurance providers. Please check with your plan to confirm coverage.**
