Lighting our way back home to ourselves
Nika Peters - Art Therapist
Available for online and in-person in Bridgetown, NS
Meet Nika
I believe that we all have inherent wisdom.
Hi there. My name is Nika Peters, and I am an Art Therapist who works with people of all ages. I work virtually and in-person, my practice is located just outside Bridgetown. I am trained in the use of Sandplay therapy and informed by the Internal Family Systems model. My practice is Queer and neurodiversity affirming, trauma-informed, and collaborative.
I am here to support you in listening to all your parts with curiosity and compassion. These times are asking great things of us and bring a lot of stress into our lives. To our work I bring the tools of art-making, imagination, self-reflection, presence and connection. I want you to feel that you are not alone on this journey of healing and transformation.
For who?
No experience with art-making necessary!
I work with people of all ages. I find I am a good fit for children and adolescents struggling to 'find their place' socially, and adults seeking to cultivate more inner connection.
Every session consists of a combination of talking, art-making, Sandplay, journaling, mindfulness and embodiment practices that varies for every client. I also offer the use of the tarot in sessions. Some sessions you may prefer to talk and not use art materials and that is fine! Every session is different and is built around what you feel drawn to.
Interested? Email me with any questions you might have or to set up a free 20 minute consult.

Online art therapy can be a great fit for people who live farther away, who enjoy the comfort of their home, and who might prefer not to travel during this time of Covid-19. We meet for 60 minutes on a telehealth platform and work with what art supplies you have at home. I will often have suggestions of supplies you can pick up, and it is amazing what art supplies you can find at the dollar store!
