Participant Testimonials
“Not only was the workshop informative, it provided me with a sense of hope and reminded me to fill my cup so I can hold the cup of my client until they can hold it themselves.”
“Received lots of great resources. It was a good reminder of what trauma work is and how to identify trauma. Lots of great tools/analogies to use with clients and a reminder of what I am doing well already.”

Lindsay has held a nearly life-long interest in and passion for “People and Art” (I.e., Psychology and Creativity). She has fed this passion through her own personal artistic journey as well as throughout her professional career in the mental health and addictions field. Lindsay has had the privilege of providing therapeutic arts experiences to people from all walks of life over the past 16 years. She has provided expressive arts experiences for public school students; adults with serious and persistent mental illness; individuals with dual diagnoses (developmental disability and mental health issues); adults in private residential treatment for substance use problems; and professionals working in fields such as teaching, nursing, and counselling.
The transformative power of art-making has never ceased to amaze Lindsay. She envisions a future where the expressive arts are prescribed for health and healing. As such, Lindsay is thrilled to have the opportunity to teach and discuss Expressive Art Therapy with local service providers.
Lindsay’s curriculum vitae includes a diploma in Social Services, a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Psychology, a variety of post-graduate trainings in Expressive Arts Therapy, including a Certificate in Expressive Arts from the Haliburton School of Art and Design, and most recently, a diploma in Graphic Design.
