TESTIMONIALS
Anonymous, Oregon, USA
“I was going through an extremely difficult time in my life. I was living in another country as an immigrant and dealing with some very hard stuff at work. Joanne's art therapy classes provided me with a way to release all my angst that was building up from the stress. Being able to do art and then analyze it at a subconscious level was amazing. I was able to take control back of my life and come up with a plan to make things better. I loved doing the art and Joanne has such a kind way of gently guiding the exploration of art therapy."

"Joanne Bear helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Her gentle and grounded approach to art therapy created a space that felt safe and approachable. With her compassionate guidance, I was able to express myself in colour and concept and was genuinely surprised by the work I produced. I’m deeply grateful to have been introduced into art therapy by Joanne.”

"I had the privilege of working with Joanne over the course of several months, and it was a truly transformative experience. Her ability to hold space with compassion, while guiding creative exploration through art, helped me process emotions I wasn’t able to verbalize. She fostered a safe and nonjudgmental environment, allowing me to reconnect with parts of myself I had long ignored. I particularly appreciated how she integrated therapeutic insight with intuitive artistic guidance. I highly recommend Joanne Bear to anyone seeking an alternative or complementary approach to traditional talk therapy. Her skill, empathy, and professionalism are exceptional."
