Maiya Robbie
Expressive Arts Therapist
Registered Therapeutic Counsellor
Hello, and welcome...
I’m Maiya, a Certified Expressive Arts Therapist
and a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor.
​
My approach is compassionate,
curious, resourcing, arts-based
and informed by my particular constellation of interests
and experiences in the field of psychotherapy.
I'm dedicated to helping folks navigate liminal
(in-between) spaces of not knowing.
Sometimes this looks like stuck-ness,
or feeling at a standstill...
experiencing grief, overwhelm, depression or anxiety.
It may look like navigating your identity and growth
+/or sometimes...
​
it just feels like a shifting.
​
I'm here to help.
I consider my role to be a 'bridge keeper'.
I stand with you at the in-between to help find your direction(s)
Here, we step into a different way of being in our lives.
We listen in new ways, we learn to hold curiosity for what is and for what might be.
We slow down, we listen in,
we explore.
"Keep some room in your heart
for the unimaginable"
-Mary Oliver
Expressive Arts Therapy invites creative expression — like visual arts, movement, creative writing, drama, or ritual — into the therapeutic process.
It blends these expressive forms with relational and somatic approaches to support healing, insight, and growth. You don’t need to be “an artist” — just willing to be curious.
Sessions are available:
• In-person at my downtown office
• Online
• Outdoors (see below for Nature-Based sessions)
Nature Based Expressive Arts Therapy:
​
Draws from the therapeutic benefits of BOTH the arts and relationship with the natural world ,
in an integrated way, that supports individual and collective deepening and grounding.

"Nature based experiences fill a reservoir within us that we can later draw from
when faced with life's challenges"
Melia Snyder, author of Nature Based Expressive Arts Therapy
