What is art therapy?

Art therapy isn’t just for artists.

Art therapy is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy that combines traditional talk therapy with art-making as a way to explore emotions, process experiences, and better understand yourself. It’s about the process and not the product.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Translating our feelings into language can be challenging. Art-making provides an avenue for self-exploration that engages our brain and body in a different way. It allows us to capture on paper what we can’t in words.

Art therapists work with people of all ages

Many people assume that art therapy is just for kids, but art therapists work with adults too!

Hi, I’m Amy!

I support children (5+) and teens with anxiety, challenges navigating peer relationships, difficult transitions, and getting to know their unique selves as they move through the ups-and-downs of growing up in today’s world.

I also work with adults, typically in their 20s–40s, many of whom are experiencing burnout, stress, loss of motivation, or moral injury, and are looking to reconnect with themselves. Often times, they have participated in talk therapy and are curious to see how art therapy might support them in a different way. I’ve supported adults who work in high-pressure jobs often in the public sector (public education, healthcare, etc).

Sessions can be online or in-person, and involve a mix of talking and art-making shaped around what feels right for you!

In-person & virtual

I currently offer in-person and virtual art therapy for children, teens and adults through Toronto Art Therapy Space‍ ‍located at 1604 Bloor St West in Toronto.

Standard fee: $160 per 50 minute session
