About the Online Wellness Clinic
If you are interested in registering for an upcoming group, or individual art / expressive arts therapy support, offered through our Online Wellness Centre please book your initial intake appointment through our Jane booking portal. We kindly ask that all potential new clients provide three preferred times for their intake appointment. The first appointment will take place over Zoom.
The WHEAT Online Wellness Centre provides online groups, individual art therapy and expressive arts sessions for healing and wellness. Student therapists are available to help you amplify your creativity and self-awareness, build self-esteem, relax and come into the present moment. A variety of arts media will be explored including paint, clay, pastels and more. Expressive arts sessions incorporate a variety of arts modalities such as visual art, poetry, drama and movement.
Through this program, students are able to complete a portion of their practicum hours. All students receive regular supervision with experienced, registered art and expressive arts therapists. Due to insurance obligations we are unable to offer service outside of Canada.
This unique time in history calls on us to find ways to manage our stress and build community through playful creative exploration.
We invite you to join us! All are welcome!
