You may be searching for help because you are experiencing emotional challenges, and need to process something bothering you now or from your past. You may have had long-term mental health issues, or are searching for help with stress, anxiety, depression, big life changes and/or traumatic experiences. You may be fed up with feeling down, burnt out and want to reign in negative thoughts and emotions. I know first hand, it is really hard wading through this all alone.

Would you like to work on these issues in a unique, gentle and creative way? Doing art therapy with me helps when words fail. You don't need to be artistic to participate. If you don't know where to begin, don't worry, I will be with you every step of the way.

Hello, I'm Heather Caruso, of Art Therapy Guelph, an Artist, Healer, Art Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist. I offer a comforting and safe space to work through and explore your emotions, life changes and negative experiences. Together we will use a combination of creative artmaking and psychotherapy to help you achieve your goals. 

My main focus with clients is to support and honour their individuality, values and unique needs in a safe and non-judgmental way. I collaborate with clients on how to reach their goals, at their pace. My belief is that each person, regardless of their limitations or negative life experiences, is capable of positive growth with the right tools. These tools may be learning how and when to implement coping methods, developing self-compassion and healthy intuition, processing traumatic events and discovering how to express one's needs in a healthy way. I am blessed to work together with people to process the darkness of the past in order to paint a brighter future.
