Art therapy is a form of psychotherapy that uses creative processes like drawing, painting, collage, and clay to help individuals understand and process their emotions and life experiences.
This approach encourages self-awareness, emotional regulation, and positive brain engagement, especially for those who have experienced trauma. By focusing on the process rather than the art itself, art therapy provides a safe, open, and playful way to explore our sense of who we are, as well as the world around us.

DKATI, Registered Psychotherapist
Hi there! My name is B (they/she). I’m a registered psychotherapist and trained art therapist currently residing in Belleville, ON. I’m a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, the Canadian Art Therapy Association, and the Canadian Association for Play Therapy.
As someone with privileged intersections of identity (white-bodied, European and Māori, queer, nonbinary), my approach is anti-oppressive, anti-racist, decolonizing, trauma-informed, and ever-evolving. I align values of belonging, self-determination and radical transparency with both Western and Indigenous worldviews in the name of providing accessible, neuroscience-informed art therapy that centres the mind, body, and spirit of those with whom I work.
