We’ve had a wonderful experience with Soar Art Therapy. The sessions have been so valuable for my son - he feels safe, supported, and truly enjoys expressing himself through art. Vicki is warm, professional, and incredibly skilled at connecting with children. She is also very communicative! I've seen real growth in my sons confidence and emotional regulation since starting. Highly recommend Soar Art Therapy to any parent considering this kind of support for their child!

Vicki offers a warm-hearted, kind, open and empathetic presence. She’s very mindful and attuned to others. Her fluency in visual art, enthusiasm & passion for creativity blends well with these humanistic skills, in her role as an arts psychotherapist. Vicki demonstrates true dedication and professionalism towards evidence-based approaches in art therapy, and gracefully cultivates an environment that is trauma-informed and neurodivergent friendly.Whether it’s calming the nervous system after navigating stressful events, finding someone deeply supportive of neurodivergence, or feeling a need for a safe creative sanctuary that provides consideration and care, I can’t hesitate to recommend Soar Art Therapy!
