What Issues Do You Work With?

At Art Therapy Guelph, we provide a warm environment where you can feel supported and understood. Our skilled therapist is dedicated to helping you navigate through life’s challenges with compassion and expertise. We offer personalized support on a variety of issues, including:

Anxiety: Anxiety can manifest as persistent worry, excessive fear, and physical symptoms like a racing heart or difficulty breathing. Many individuals seek support to learn coping strategies and regain a sense of calm in their daily lives.
Depression: Depression often involves feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities once enjoyed. Therapy can help individuals explore underlying causes, develop healthier thought patterns, and find renewed joy.
Trauma and PTSD: Trauma and PTSD can lead to flashbacks, nightmares, and intense emotional distress. Seeking support is crucial for processing these experiences, building resilience, and restoring a sense of safety and normalcy.
Narcissistic Abuse: Narcissistic abuse can result in feelings of worthlessness, confusion, and emotional pain. Therapy provides a safe space to understand these dynamics, heal from the manipulation, and rebuild self-esteem.
Grief: Grief is a natural response to loss, but it can be overwhelming and isolating. Support can assist individuals in navigating their emotions, finding meaning, and honoring their loved ones while moving forward.
Low Self-Esteem: Low self-esteem can hinder personal growth and fulfillment. Therapy helps to identify negative self-beliefs, cultivate self-acceptance, and foster a more confident and empowered sense of self.
Stress: Chronic stress can affect mental and physical health, leading to exhaustion and burnout. Seeking support allows individuals to manage stress effectively, prioritize self-care, and enhance overall well-being.
Negative Life Events: Negative life events, such as divorce, job loss, or traumatic incidents, can create significant upheaval. Therapy provides a compassionate space to process these changes, adapt, and find hope for the future.

Who Do You Work With?

While art therapy in Guelph is inclusive of all age groups, children, teens and adults, it has a special focus on adult women, recognizing the unique challenges they face. Our mature therapist possesses the knowledge and skills necessary to support adult and more mature women in navigating these challenges.

Brainspotting Therapy

Brainspotting therapy is a revolutionary approach that leverages the visual field to access and process deeply stored traumas, sensations, thoughts, and emotions within the brain.
