Candice Burnett

Through my private practice, CreArt Insight Art Therapy, I offer a compassionate, strengths-based approach to supporting individuals navigating mental health challenges, substance use, trauma, grief, identity, and life transitions. My work is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), somatic awareness, and harm reduction, with an emphasis on psychological flexibility, self-discovery, and moving beyond simply surviving.

I am particularly interested in the intersection of art therapy and psychedelic-assisted therapy, and the ways creative expression can complement the therapeutic process. Psychedelic experiences can bring forward emotions, memories, insights, and aspects of identity that may be difficult to access or articulate through words alone. Art therapy offers an additional pathway for exploring, expressing, and integrating these experiences. Through imagery, symbolism, and embodied creative processes, individuals can give form to internal experiences, deepen self-understanding, and explore how meaningful insights might translate into everyday life.

My approach prioritizes safety, autonomy, curiosity, and non-judgment. I recognize that people develop coping strategies for understandable reasons and believe meaningful change begins with feeling understood, rather than feeling the need to defend or explain oneself. I aim to create space for people to reconnect with themselves, discover new possibilities, and develop ways of living that feel more aligned with who they are, what matters to them and their values.
