Haylie

I am a U.S. trained art therapist based in Brussels. I integrate art-making with the person-centered approach to work with my clients.

Art has served as my “daily detox” for years. The process of choosing art material, as well as using it for self-expression, has been powerful and therapeutic. Being an art therapist, I have seen many of my clients explore their inner self and grow through the art making process.

I have a master degree in Art Therapy from School of Visual Arts in New York. I have worked in the United States, Taiwan and Belgium with diverse populations. In my practice, I use a person-centered approach to work with my clients. My approach aims to empower and motivate individuals to grow. In addition, being an expat, I understand the difficulties of acculturation in which culture shock and cultural adaption are main challenges in daily lives. I am driven by a strong passion for working and supporting people transitioning to a new country. Having worked at an adult day rehabilitation program, a drug rehabilitation and a summer school program in different countries, I bring my experiences and expertise into my practice to help clients achieve their goals.
