Child Art Psychotherapy (4 - 12)

Written By Ashley Nelson

1:1 Art therapy sessions at Heartworks Children’s Studio for children (ages 4 - 12).

I am not accepting new clients, but do have a waitlist! :)

In the meantime, if virtual sessions are an option for you, I recommend reaching out to Shawna Banville, by clicking here!

  • These sessions are art psychotherapy, which means that a safe space, creative activity, and art therapist’s support will help your child work through a struggle of some sort.

  • These are for children aged 4 - 12 years that could benefit from a safe and supportive space for self-exploration, personal growth, and creative expression.

    Children with crisis-level needs, goals, or situations such as struggling with suicidality, self-harming behaviour, or a tendency to harm others are not suitable for my art therapy work.

  • These happen at Heartworks Children’s Studio in Orillia, ON.

  • They cost $145 per session. I do have a select number of low income client spots if needed.

    After you pay for each session, I will send you a receipt. If your insurance company covers sessions provided by a qualifying registered psychotherapist, you can submit with them for reimbursement each time!

  • Ideal goals that align with my work include but are not limited to the following: 

    • Developing self acceptance, compassion, and/or trust

    • Gaining a sense of autonomy

    • Feeling safe

    • Experiencing a positive relationship

    • Feeling capable

    Crisis-level needs, goals, or situations such as struggling with suicidality, self-harming behaviour, or a tendency to harm others are not suitable for my private practice.

  • Sessions typically run from Monday to Friday, with starting times between 3:30 to 6:30PM depending on availability.
