    Expressive/Creative Arts therapist    


Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly with many expressive/creative arts techniques (arts, sand-play, altered work, environmental art, mandala, music etc.) my focus is on staying close to what you bring to our work in the co-created and safe therapeutic studio space.

Hours of operation: by appointment, please call 416-725-7738 or email susan@susanleopold.com
