Natasha Cooze, Art Therapist, RP, DTATI, believes that art is an innate language that we as humans are all born with. Through this language, she empathetically fosters the expression of creativity to work as a channel towards healing with her clients. Natasha trusts that the agent of healing lies within the artistic process, rather than in the outcome. Therefore, no artistic skills are required in order to engage in art therapy. Natasha facilitates a supportive, empowering, and safe space where her clients are given the opportunity to be curious, explore their inner strengths, and build on their self-resiliency.
Natasha incorporates various approaches within her therapeutic practice including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques. A holistic understanding of the body and mind connection is used to promote meaningful harmony within the client as a whole. Natasha works from a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person- and child-centred approach.

Rapinder Kaur is particularly drawn to the concept of individual empowerment and how this process can lead to collective change. A Registered Psychotherapist and Art Therapist, activist and facilitator, she is fascinated with the idea of using art to disrupt traditional thinking and imagining new possibilities for engaging in the world. Her journey in the mental health field began at a very young age, when she would relish listening to her caregivers talk about the intricacies of the mind, its incredible power and during this time learnt ways in which she could understand her own mind. Her curiosity for the inner workings of the mind and her love for art and creativity led her on an interesting journey, during which she studied psychology, history of ideas and then Art Therapy. She graduated from Kingston University in England and the Toronto Art Therapy Institute in Toronto Canada. Rapinder strongly believes that art has the potential to change lives and often in profound ways. When words are not enough, people can turn to images and symbols to tell their story and in telling their stories through art, they can find a path to health and wellness, emotional reparation, recovery, and ultimately, transformation.
