Art Therapy

Solarium full of stuff toys, kids painting and books at noorify art therapy.

In the simplest form, expressive therapies such as art and play is a form of sensory non-verbal communication. For children and teens who may not be able to articulate their thoughts and emotions openly, the sensory based approach allows for them to experience themselves  make-meaning  and communicate valuable information, as the medium encourages story telling.

 

Nestled in our comfortable and customized play and expressive therapies solarium studio, we are surrounded by the serenity of the forest and sounds of the running stream.

 

Our trained Art and Play therapists focus on child-therapist connection, as entering therapy is a relational processes. We establish attunement and engage in reshaping and repairing attachment. Children experiencing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma, or behavioural issues can develop coping skills and healthy ways to express themselves in a safe and supportive environment. 

We acknowledge that we live, work, and play on the traditional and unceded territories of the Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) and xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations.
