I’m Hanna Kaye Verhagen, an art therapist and Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) with a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology.
Like you, I know how difficult life changes can be.
Nonetheless, I understand the great opportunity for growth that these changes present if we are well-supported and have the tools necessary to navigate them in a meaningful way. I blend evidence-based practices, including mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), with creative expression to support you as you navigate career and life transitions with confidence.
Whether you’re facing changes in your personal life, career, or business – you don’t have to face these challenges alone—I’m here to help you confidently navigate them.
