Welcome to Picasso's Garage, where I am excited to announce the expansion of our services to include professional supervision for therapists. As a registered Canadian Art Therapist (RCAT) and registered psychotherapist (RP), I bring a wealth of experience and specialised knowledge to support fellow therapists in their professional growth.
