Heart to Art Therapy
Culturally responsive, trauma-informed, client-centered therapy. A place to be heard, understood, and supported, in the way that works for you.
Hi there,
Are you in a season of struggle and looking for clarity and change? Please know that this journey doesn't have to be taken alone. When alongside a trusted other, healing is possible. Together we can uncover unhelpful patterns, process difficult emotions, and become more deeply connected to ourselves.
At Heart to Art Therapy, we believe everyone deserves care that fits who they are. Our registered psychotherapists/social workers bring a wide range of approaches to the work, so your therapy can be shaped around your needs, your story, and your pace.
Our downtown Toronto practice specializes in cultural identity, intergenerational trauma, and relationships in a cultural context. We understand that who we are is shaped by the families, communities, and cultures we come from, and that the stories we inherit can be both a source of strength and a source of pain. Whether you are navigating belonging between cultures, carrying patterns passed down through generations, or untangling the expectations that shape your closest relationships, we will make space for your whole story.
We offer talk therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed work, and expressive and art-based options for those who want them. Whether you are drawn to conversation, creativity, or a blend of both, we will help you find an approach that feels right. No artistic experience is needed, and there is no pressure to try anything that does not feel like a good fit.
Sessions are available in English and Mandarin/Cantonese Chinese, so you can express yourself in the language that feels most like home.
Whether you are navigating stress, transition, grief, or a longing to feel more connected to yourself, we will meet you with warmth, skill, and care.
We don’t have to just talk
As well as talking, we might use artwork, visualizations, meditations, or somatic practices in our sessions. Through painting, sculpting, and other creative outlets, individuals can find new ways to communicate and understand their innermost thoughts. Of course, all of these tools are an invitation. We may not use them all and we will only work in ways which feels right to you.
Services
An initial online meeting to determine if we’d be a good fit and how we can best support you in your journey. You can give us an idea of what brings you to therapy, and what you’d like to gain from it. This is also an excellent time to ask any questions you may have.
