Hello, my name is Mady Mooney and I hold a master’s degree in psychotherapy and spirituality with a specialization in art therapy. I conducted my research on chronic pain and art therapy in women diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. 

In the past I have worked in the private sector as well as in public health, specifically at the Cross Cancer Clinic in Edmonton. I offered individual therapy and facilitated group art therapy for cancer patients and their family.

Presently I am in private practice in Vancouver offering one on one sessions as well as group sessions, both online and in person, in addition to workshop facilitation. In my practice I see clients who are exploring issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, and abuse. 

I am primarily a client centered therapist and as such believe that you have an innate wisdom and capacity for self healing and personal growth. Together with you I would like to explore how we may find that connection through the arts. As well, I draw on a variety of theories to create an integrative approach using techniques that “fit” the client.

When I am not working I enjoy being an artist; I paint and love photography. 

My husband, who has been diagnosed with Movement Disorder, and I spend each spring and fall in Amsterdam, enjoying my family, the arts and the culture. We are fortunate to have three children and two young grandkids.
