Hi, I'm Stephanie Van Egmond, an Art Therapist (DVATI) and Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). I bring a rich combination of clinical and academic training, and lived experience to offer a therapeutic approach that is both gentle and direct. My work integrates creativity, emotional depth, and practical support.
I am a member of the Canadian Art Therapy Association (CATA) and the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and I practice under the supervision of an experienced Art Psychotherapist to ensure safe, ethical, and client-centered care.
What is Art Therapy?
Art therapy is for people of any age no artistic experience required.
Art therapy is a holistic and evidence-based form of psychotherapy that uses simple art materials to help you express emotions & experiences, gain insight, and support healing. It’s an embodied, creative process that helps you connect more deeply with yourself.
Art therapy sessions can help you:
- Express emotions you can't put into words
- Reduce anxiety and stress
- Build resilience and self-understanding
- Broaden perspectives & gain insight
- Solve problems
It's not about making "good" art, but about what unfolds in the process.
Working Together
My approach to art therapy is informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Narrative Therapy methods. I meet each client with respect, curiosity, and trust in their natural creativity.
Who I work with:
Youth (8+) - in person only
Adults (18+)- in person and online
I work with adults navigating a variety life experience's including anxiety, grief, life transitions, relationship dynamics & patterns and stress, burnout & illness to name a few.
