Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at creativeflowarttherapy@gmail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Do I need to be good at art to do Art Therapy?

No. Art Therapy is not about being a good artist or having artistic skill. What is important is the experience of making art versus focusing on how it looks when it is finished. There are no rules for how to create art in art therapy and anyone can enjoy the benefits of the creative process.

What materials will I need for a session?

You are welcome to use any art materials that you have access to. You may have a favourite or a few mediums that you enjoy working with - I welcome you to use what you feel drawn to exploring with. If you are new to using art materials, Please let me know and I would be happy to offer suggestions to explore.

Do you accept insurance for sessions?

While psychotherapy is not covered by OHIP, consult your benefits plan to confirm coverage for a ‘Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)’. A digital receipt will be provided by email to you after every session which can be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Third party billing is unavailable at this time.

What if I am late to a session?

If you are running late to your scheduled session it is important that you contact your therapist immediately by email haileybeitz@creativeflowarttherapy.com. If a client fails to provide notice of lateness, sessions will be cancelled after 15 minutes at the client's expense. The client will be charged the full session amount $120.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule my session?

All clients are required to notify their therapist of a cancellation at least 24 hours before their session. In cases of late and same-day cancellations clients will be charged a fee of $60.

What does "Qualifying" mean?
