Art & Materials
What kind of art will we make during art therapy?
I may occasionally suggest themes or topics for art-making, but it’s always optional. You’re welcome to engage with any art form that feels right for you. You can doodle, craft, or simply use materials as a way to express yourself or help you feel at ease. It's all about what works for you!
What art materials will I need for art therapy?
You are free to use any materials you feel comfortable with. Common supplies include: markers, coloured pencils, oil pastels, paints, clay, collage materials, and even digital tools. While digital art is outside my expertise, I'm happy to support that approach.
Will I always have to make art during sessions?
No. Art-making is always optional. You might choose talk therapy, art therapy, or a mix of both. We'll tailor each session to your comfort level and goals.
Therapy Logistics
How often and for how long will I need therapy?
It depends on your needs. I usually recommend weekly sessions at first to build momentum and rapport. Later, sessions may become bi-weekly or monthly. The total duration varies depending on your goals and circumstances.
How much does therapy cost and do you accept insurance?
You can find detailed information on the Fee Schedule page. It includes a breakdown of costs and insurance options available to you.
What video platform do you use for online sessions?
I use Jane App, a secure Canadian platform. You’ll get a direct link 30 minutes before your appointment. Zoom Pro for Healthcare is also available as an alternative. Both meet Ontario’s privacy laws.
