Steph Shu
Art Therapist Intern
I am currently an art therapy student at Vancouver Art Therapy Institute, conducting part of my practicum at This World's Ours. Before studying at VATI, I received a Bachelor's degree from UBC, and later a TESOL Diploma from VCC, after which I taught English to children and young adults from around the world.
​
Creating art can be a way to explore things that we may have trouble expressing verbally. I strive to foster a safe, creative environment free from judgement, where a client can engage in a process of self-exploration and discovery through art.
I'm currently looking for clients to participate in art therapy sessions at a reduced rate ($40 per session) in order to fulfill my program's clinical requirements.
Available 10am-2pm and 5pm-8pm on Tuesdays, as well as 10am-3pm on Wednesdays.
Charity Hu
Art Therapist
My name is Charity and I am a Certified Art Therapist in Vancouver. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design and Art from Kwantlen Polytechnic University and a graduate-level Diploma from Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. I’ve had experience working with a wide range of age groups, from children in primary school to seniors at care facilities, and also experience working with various challenges, including behavioral issues, depression, ADHD, autism spectrum disorder, social isolation, grief/ loss, and PTSD. From both research and personal experience, I’ve seen how art therapy empowers and enriches lives. Are you or your child having difficulties understanding and communicating your emotions? Art therapy may be a perfect way to facilitate the process of expressing your hearts healthily and creatively!
