Figuring it out together.

Collage of art therapy tools: watercolour palette, crystals, tarot cards, markers, books, a game controller and a person in jeans

In art, like in healing, like in justice work, we often don't know where to begin.

We want to get it right.

But in reality, perfection doesn't exist – and starting is enough.

Different therapies for different people

We work with Narrative, EMDR, Art Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy to help you figure out your feelings.

Creativity is Key

No need to be an art genius or the next Picasso. And we’re not only about art therapy. It’s just the world we come from. So we’ll work creatively to build essential coping tools for and with you.

Justice-oriented and anti-oppressive

That means unlearning biases, prejudices and oppressive & reductionist narratives from the mental health space with and alongside you.

nervous system care + cultural healing + art therapy.

We're here for BIPOC, neurodivergent, and LGBTQ2SAI+ folks. People carrying systemic harm, intergenerational wounds, and the exhaustion of being unseen.

We believe care should move toward liberation: to be seen, to become, to be loved.
