What an amazing experience

Wow! What an amazing experience it was to journey with a CiiAT Student Therapist through Virtual Art Therapy session!

An extraordinary experience

I can’t say enough, really, about how extraordinary my experience has been, and is, with the CiiAT Student Therapist. I’ve had the advantage of free therapy for years in Ontario, but can’t recall ever feeling heard, understood or even taken seriously before.

The CiiAT Virtual Student Art Therapy has been effective in maintaining my mental health

The CiiAT Virtual Student Art Therapy has been effective in maintaining my mental health and continuing my creative expression. The combination of making art and at the same time talking with a student art therapist has been a unique and highly effective format. Being weekly it allows a kind of developmental experience with the continuity of my current state and situation. The art making and verbal process blend together and I found that doing the art happens easier as we talk. I’ve done the 6 month timeframe 3 times and the students were experienced, knowledgeable and comfortable to confide in. Expressing my thoughts and feelings along with creating art every week without a need for a referral make the sessions and access to them a good thing. I enjoy and value the process as it has added significantly to my overall wellbeing so I highly recommend and encourage others try it out.

I don’t know if this will be a fit for me?

Upon my first consideration of art therapy, my initial thought was, “I’m not an artist, so I don’t know if this will be a fit for me?” If you have a similar thought, let me help alleviate any reservations you might have. You do not need any “artistic aptitude”.

VATC Client

You do not need any artistic aptitude

You do not need any “artistic aptitude”, but simply a willingness and openness to explore, connect, and expand!
