Lindsay Clarke, Art Therapy & Supervision
I believe that connection and creativity enrich our lives, helping us to make sense of complex emotions and experiences. Self expression is so important in processing suffering, trauma, change, and also beauty and resilience. In creativity we can reorient ourselves by exploring, experimenting, and discovering new possibilities.
After years of providing art therapy in schools, a women's shelter, and public art hives, I've now developed my own practice- offering a private art therapy space for individuals to process, to heal, and to move towards greater health.
I value spaces in the community that honour our stories that are difficult to tell. I've created these safe holding spaces not only within the individual therapy experience, but also out in public, including art hives, schools, museums, and hospitals, where I've created community art exhibitions holding the experiences of those impacted by violence, depression and suicide, and mental illness. Through art we can break silence, relate, understand, and discover new meaning.
As an Art Therapist I support people of all ages through periods of loss, transition, and growth, through a blend of talk therapy and creative process. Together we sort through the chaos, find clarity, and establish sturdier ground.
I'm here to listen, support, and guide you back towards your own strengths.
Art therapy incorporates all of our senses into a healing process that tends to our emotional and mental state as well as our nervous system. It can be a gentle and accessible way to address difficult experiences and feelings.
During each session, I guide and support you through experiences of artmaking that seem appropriate to themes that arise in our conversation, to your needs in the moment, and to your overall goals in therapy.
Children and youth also benefit from a creative approach to health and wellbeing. I offer children a safe space to express themselves, develop healthy coping skills, build greater self awareness, and discover fun and intuitive ways to regulate their emotions. Art therapy can help youth through anxiety, depression, traumatic events, loss, or big life changes.
I offer art therapy sessions to adults, teens, and children, in-person at my art therapy studio in the Plateau. Access to a wide range of materials are included in your session, as well as safe and confidential storage for your artwork. If you prefer to meet online I can also provide virtual sessions.
As a registered art therapist and certified counsellor (RCAT, ATR, CCC) with years of experience supervising in clinical and community settings, I provide professional creative therapists with supervision, in-person and online.
I also offer bi-weekly online drop-in arts-based group supervision for therapists across Canada and abroad.
Connect with a diverse gathering of Art Therapists practicing across North America and abroad, for creative and professional support and resourcing.
Group connection, peer support, and making space for creative process to hold deeper reflection and

"Creating Resiliency Together" is an 8 week art therapy group for women who have survived experiences of sexual abuse/violence, held in-person at atelier lanterne, Montreal.
Participants will be guided through creative directives to express, explore, and move complex emotions and experiences that have been stuck or held. Art can express what is beyond words and put form to what is intangible, providing new insight, emotional distance, and cathartic release.
There will be space for reflection and processing the art work, together as a group. Each individual's pace and comfort of sharing will be respected, with no pressure to disclose.
No previous skill set with art making is necessary, the goal is not to make "good art", but rather to practice self expression, move emotions out of the body, and discover greater self awareness and healing through an intuitive process.
This group is for self connection while also connecting to a sense of solidarity, relating, and compassion amongst other women.
Fee is $575, tax included, payment plans are available.
Space is limited, reach out asap for more info and to register for next upcoming group:
