Studies show that virtual therapy can be just as effective as seeing a therapist in person. And you don’t have to leave your house. Use any materials or objects you have on hand, such as the examples in the photos below. 

The process is similar as in-person sessions: begin with a check in, choose and use materials to make something, I’ll ask questions about what the process was like for you and what you notice in what you’ve made. We’ll explore how your insights from what you’ve made increase your self-awareness, reduce or shift symptoms and/or perceptions, and inform how you can work toward the changes you want in your life.

As with all virtual therapy, a quiet place with no interruptions is important. I use the NousTalk therapy platform that provides secure, encrypted sessions.

Use any materials you have on hand!

Virtual and outreach art therapy

RCAT, CRPO-RP (qualifying)

Art therapy is a way to explore issues, concerns, and strategies for change using the creative process that does not rely on words to be helpful.  The questions I ask about how and what you’ve made lead to insights that increase your self-awareness and inform the direction you want to take toward positive change.

You do not need to be an artist to do art therapy. You use materials on hand to make spontaneous art or to do creative activities I suggest about what brought you to art therapy. You can make scribbles, stick figures, swirls of colour, collage images, clay shapes, glitter and paint on wood, etc. Can’t imagine what virtual art therapy would be like?

Virtual sessions are available if you live in Ontario (many insurance providers cover session costs) or in a province without a regulatory college (so my insurance covers our sessions) including: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nunavut, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon.

In-person outreach sessions in the Saskatoon area for groups and individuals will be available starting January 2026. Get in touch to discuss how I can deliver art therapy to your location and possible funding options.

I acknowledge and am grateful for the Treaty Six Territory and Métis nation homeland on which I live and work.
