Bio: Hi my name is Shannon (They/Them). I am an art therapist (BA, DVATI) who works with primarily neurodivergent and/or queer people (of all ages, genders, identities) who want to pause, explore and reconnect. Societal expectations of how we should act and navigate the world can be exhausting. It can be hard to feel safe enough to reconnect with our inner selves, fearlessly use art materials, explore difficult topics, and live authentically. No art making experience needed. Everyone can make art. As an art therapist, my role is to guide clients through the art making process, and the thoughts that may come up. My job is not to interpret your art, but rather listen and support you as you gain your own insight. I hope to collaboratively build the safety needed to be with my clients as they reconnect with their authentic selves. Art Therapy is a mental health service that utilizes art making with models of counselling and psychotherapy that takes into account the many ways individuals learn, remember, process, and express themselves. Solely using words cannot always fully encapsulate one’s experiences and feelings. For more details check out my website www.shannonpsart.com
