Stephanie Harper BA, DVATI, BCATR
Stephanie Harper is a Registered Art Therapist
with a Master’s level Diploma from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. After graduating in 1998, Stephanie set up a private practice in Vancouver and was employed by the Musqueam Indian Band as Art and Play Therapist. She currently volunteers her services at Vancouver Friends for Life assisting those facing life-threatening illnesses.
Stephanie is very happy to be bringing her practice toPort Moody and to the warm, welcoming environment of Rocky Point Acupuncture.
Art Therapy is a gentle, client-centred approach to counselling. Stephanie invites her clients to use the simple painting materials with spontaneity and curiosity. Sometimes words alone cannot uncover the deeper sources of our pain or confusion. Through the spontaneous painting process, images, feelings, or memories can emerge and become the source of further discussion and insight. Painting can be relaxing and meditative – it can help clients turn off the left-brain chatter that keeps them locked in old, limiting ways of thinking and being.
Stephanie has witnessed the power of Art Therapy to help clients deal with past traumas, anxiety, depression, grief, pre and post-partum issues, body image, relationship issues, illness, and spiritual exploration.
NO ART EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED! Art Therapy is not about making nice pictures. Stephanie invites her clients to paint like they did as young children – without self-judgment or fear of criticism. This spontaneity and playfulness is a healing, energizing force that can translate into all realms of our lives. Give yourself this gift.
