There is a place for everyone in art therapy, as we all have the potential for expressing ourselves creatively. Art can provide a language to describe feelings, thoughts and life experiences that are hard to put into words. I am currently practicing at Therapy Collective, in downtown Calgary, Alberta. Services are available in-person and virtually. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3c16154caf33098e0ee2b/1639249429076-YCIABRV5XT2UH71LFLHM/IMG_7500.jpg Services & Booking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3c16154caf33098e0ee2b/1639249609335-HKJYRE42ARTCGAXMFT09/collage.JPG Services & Booking https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3c16154caf33098e0ee2b/1645470183773-ZZOUKRX1CQ94IJXNYFKQ/IMG_0387.jpg Services & Booking https://www.elbowriverarttherapycounselling.com/home-1 daily 1.0 2024-10-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b3c16154caf33098e0ee2b/8b4d5b40-087c-49ac-8de6-3b6810e4e06d/IMG_6670+%283%29.JPG Home - about me. I’m Nia and I’m an art therapist and counselling therapist in Calgary, Alberta (Moh-kíns-tsis), a place which is named after the “elbow” of the intersecting rivers in this territory. The river is a place of solace, comfort, and inspiration for me, and therefore inspired the name of my practice. It’s important to me that, when you’re in the therapy room, you feel comfortable, safe and cozy, and that you are seen and valued. My role is to help you discover yourself, explore your experiences and navigate emotions. I work mainly from a client-centered, solution-focused approach, meaning that your health and well-being are the most important to me and I value connection and trust in our therapeutic relationship. I believe that humans are innately resilient, and I will always be watching for your strengths and capabilities. Art therapy is a unique and helpful way to express yourself when words just don't seem quite right, or it's hard to talk about something. I use talking, play and art-making (in whatever form or combination you're comfortable with) to explore emotions and thoughts, and help you to understand yourself and your world more clearly. I also have education in the areas of trauma, somatic processing, narrative therapy, attachment, sex therapy and other integrative approaches which we can tailor to best fit your personal needs.
