the art therapist
Julie James offers sessions out of her home studio in Nelson, B.C.
our approach
Accessible
Mental health should be accessible to all. Black Dog Studio offers affordable group services as well as a sliding scale payment plan. There are a limited number of spots, but all you have to do is ask.
Tailored to You
We hold an expansive understanding of “art” that goes beyond pen and paper. We work with you to find the medium of art-making that suites you best; storytelling, poetry, drama, music, crafting, and natural materials.
Trauma- Informed Practice
Safety in relationships is a cornerstone of healing. My approach to therapy is gentle, strength-based, and involves mutual consent. I offer options, and a pace that feels comfortable to you.
