Carol Ritchie, Art Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
Hello! I offer individual art therapy to teens and adults. Sessions might be talk therapy only, or have varying amounts of talking/art-making throughout the session, depending on the day and each client’s wishes/needs. The art-making can provide a stepping stone between expressing our thoughts and feelings and being able to articulate them in words. Stay tuned for announcements about art therapy groups! Learn more.

Kangaroos cannot go backwards โ they can only move forward. I help people move forward in their lives with increased self-awareness, improved coping skills and a healthier sense of mental, emotional and physical well-being. I offer a thoughtful integration of evidence-based psychotherapies with adjuncts to psychotherapy (meditation, mindfulness strategies, gentle yoga) when appropriate. I work collaboratively with clients by offering insight, support, and guidance to work toward an improved quality of life. Learn more.
