How we got Started
This clinic was born out of a passion for making mental health a priority in an increasingly complex world. Working in both the mental health and education professions over the years, Ms Hope recognized the many needs of children, adolescents and adults for mental health support. Working in the local school board as a teacher, consultant and psycho-educational assessment specialist added a breadth and depth to Ms Hope's understanding that we all need support to get through challanging times.
Her experiences and observations highlighted the need for a holistic and patient-centered approach to wellness. Adding the use of art to her practice has extended her ability to offer healing beyond words. Sometimes we don't have the words to explain the feelings that we hold within our minds and our bodies, so art becomes a bridge to a greater level of understanding.
