Art Therapy uses the creative process, combined with counselling (talk therapy), as a method of enquiry, self-discovery and exploration. It is important to highlight that you do not need to be an artist or hold the belief that you are "good" at making art in order to engage in the creative process and benefit from Art Therapy. Art Therapy can be beneficial for all ages. SunRae Studio is full of different art supplies to be explored.

We enjoy working with people of all ages. You can expect to be respected and held in a safe, non-judgemental space that will encourage open "self-expression in the art" for example, exploration of feelings, emotions, thoughts, ideas, connecting to yourself mind and body, resiliency, coping mechanisms..."we walk beside". Our practice is client/child-centered, trauma-informed and highly values cultural safety.

A therapeutic art group provides a space for individuals to explore creativity and emotions through art. Participants engage in activities designed to foster self-exploration, emotional expression, and growth in a supportive environment. The group dynamic encourages community and belonging as members share experiences and insights. Guided by an art therapist, participants reflect on their artwork, sparking discussions that deepen their understanding of feelings and experiences. This process enhances self-awareness, emotional resilience, and interpersonal skills.

Parent and child art therapy sessions offer a unique opportunity for bonding and healing through creativity. These sessions are designed to foster open communication and strengthen the familial relationship by engaging in shared artistic activities. Under the guidance of a skilled art therapist, both parent and child are encouraged to explore their emotions, express themselves visually, and work collaboratively on artistic projects. This supportive environment not only enhances emotional understanding but also builds trust and connection, providing a safe space where both can learn from each other and grow together.
