      <image:title>About Me - Michelle Dyer</image:title>
      <image:caption>Reaching out for support and inviting someone to share in your experiences is incredibly courageous. It is an honour for me to hold space for and alongside you during our work together. I can provide you with support, recommendations, resources and skills to enhance your healing journey and growth. My approach is adaptive and you-centered. I will assist you in learning how to trust yourself to know what feels right as we journey together. I offer both verbal and non-verbal supportive techniques and modalities through counselling and art therapy. Art therapy is a dynamic, body centered approach for self-discovery to work through challenges that might be difficult to talk about and to build on strengths and resiliency. I will help you to discover creative solutions to emotional, behavioural, and cognitive challenges. My hope is to meet you where you are at and to make you feel safe, understood and heard. “Pay attention: We are listening each other into being” - Sally Atkins</image:caption>

      <image:title>Individual Counselling + Art Therapy - Individuals.</image:title>
      <image:caption>In my private practice, I work with adolescents, young adults, and adults, offering a secure and creative space for growth and healing. My holistic approach honours each person’s courage, resilience, and inner resources. I trust in the unique pace each journey requires and recognize that reaching out—whether for the first time or returning—is a brave step. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Together, we’ll create a space that feels safe, supportive, and responsive to what’s needed. And if another path or resource is better aligned with your needs, I’ll help you find it.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Art Therapy, My Philosophy + My Why - My Therapeutic Philosophy.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Expanding on the description above, my philosophy as an art therapist is heart-centred and you-centred; encouraging you to trust what feels right in your process; offering suggestions, wonderings and support in utilizing the appropriate tools to compliment your therapeutic journey. Art therapy (and therapy in general) is relationship, relationship, relationship! I believe that finding the right fit is critical (and I will support you in this alignment if it isn’t me). Dismantling the expert stance (the therapist knows all) is important to me. I will offer a safe container/frame to support your work and have valuable skills and tools you can try that are backed by education and experience. I believe that you are the expert of yourself. I want to understand your perspective and to support you in realizing your strengths and resources. “I’m here to get it right, not be right” - Brené Brown.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Art Therapy, My Philosophy + My Why - What is Art Therapy?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Art therapy is a therapeutic modality that incorporates art-making and psychotherapy within a therapeutic relationship. The collaborative, sensory, and somatic (connecting to the body) nature that informs psychological functioning and well-being, within art therapy processes, can support in neurologically anchoring in positive experiences (I love sharing about the brain science benefits). Art therapy is an excellent approach for self discovery, to work through challenges that might be difficult to talk about and to build on strengths and resiliency. It allows people to discover creative solutions to emotional, behavioural and cognitive challenges. It also acts as a mindfulness-based healing tool that can assist towards managing stress and contribute to relaxation and self-care. This is all done through both art making and verbal discussion. There is no artistic ability required to try or benefit from art therapy approaches (there is also not an expectation to make art as part of our therapeutic journey).</image:caption>

    <image:image>
      <image:loc>https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ef38b782cafce385dd4b083/1612470346391-O47WDAHCSV32152S4TTA/IMG_6592.JPG</image:loc>
      <image:title>Art Therapy, My Philosophy + My Why - My Why.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Why am I doing this? Why have I chosen this career as an art therapist, counsellor, facilitator and artist? Along with all I mentioned above I believe that individual healing and empowerment leads to global advocacy, healing and connection. I want to support in individual healing and growth and contribute in challenging and dismantling oppressive systems so that individuals can lead rich and meaningful lives and communities can thrive. Tiny task, I know. This all starts with doing our own work (myself included - walking the talk). I’m here to support individuals, families and groups towards healing, empowerment and purpose. To deepen this why further, some excerpts from Sonya Rene Taylor’s book, The Body is Not an Apology: the Power of Radical Self-Love (a MUST read/listen): “Our freedom from body terrorism is bound together [what I gather she means by body terrorism is sectional and intersectional cultural oppression]. We have a role in dismantling its systems and structures if we desire a free and spacious road to radical self-love. The first step is to interrupt the ways in which body terrorism resides in us.” ...AND... “Lila Watson, an Aboriginal Australian artist and activist, along with the activists of 1970s Queensland are credited with saying, ‘if you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. If you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together’.”</image:caption>

      <image:title>Your First Session</image:title>
      <image:caption>How to Prepare for Your First Session Congratulations on taking (or contemplating) this first step towards your healing and growth journey. Showing up is an incredible act of courage and that is all it takes to begin. A couple additional (and optional) suggestions: Bring tea, coffee or water to online sessions (I offer you these in face to face sessions). I find that mindfully sipping on something warm and soothing or cool and refreshing can be a nice way to ground yourself and set the scene for therapeutic work. Know that I was a client meeting a therapist for the first (or umpteenth) time too and that there is everything right with you to want to share, express, process and seek support. During creative processes, place your inner critic (you know, that nagging inner voice of not enoughness) aside - This is hard. I’ll support you in practicing this invitation and will offer self-compassion and kindness when/if it pops up during art processing). Bring any physical tools that may help during your healing journey (like a journal, sketchbook, note app on your phone or nothing at all). Take a few slow, deep breathes and come as you are. ART SUPPLY LIST FOR ONLINE SESSIONS After we meet I will send you a list of basic art supplies, a more detailed list to compile an art kit if interested and suggestions how to set up your space to create and store art.</image:caption>
