Art Therapy for Brain Injury in Victoria, BC
Art Therapy for Brain Injury
Has an acquired brain injury (ABI) changed the way you or a loved one experiences the world?
Recovering from a brain injury isn’t just about regaining physical function—it’s also about rebuilding identity, processing difficult emotions, and finding new ways to connect with others. At Sit With Us Therapy Collective, we offer a specialized Art Therapy for Brain Injury program designed to support emotional healing, cognitive stimulation, and self-expression through creative practice
When a brain injury occurs, it can disrupt the brain's language centers, making traditional talk therapy difficult. However, art taps into non-verbal communication pathways, allowing individuals to express thoughts and emotions that words can’t always reach.
With guidance from our registered art therapist, Mandy, clients explore creative methods like drawing, painting, collage, and sculpting as a way to process their experiences and begin healing.
