About

Bridget Pemberton-Smith, ATR-BC Expressive Arts Therapist

Through the power of the expressive arts, I help my clients discover their strengths and healing potential. While my approach is eclectic and varies based on the client I am working with, I am largely person-centered, helping each client to find their own path and setting goals appropriate for their journey.

Besides offering individual therapy, I am also a Soul Collage© Facilitator. Soul Collage© is an intuitive and creative collage making process. Using simple materials, Soul Collagers create a personalized deck of cards with each card representing a part of their personality or soul. As a Soul Collage© Facilitator, I provide workshops for groups of friends interested in the process, as team building sessions for professionals, groups for students exploring their life paths and more.

I am also a MARI© Practitioner. The MARI® is a creative assessment tool which uses colors and symbols, known as mandalas to provide a visual picture of your psyche, measuring all four aspects of consciousness: thinking, sensing, intuiting and feeling. The MARI© assessment is useful for people who are interested in exploring aspects of their life in therapy but may not have a clear presenting problem. I like to think of the MARI© as offering a snap shot of a person's life at a given moment.
