Yumeka Wong
BA, DTATI (Art Therapist), Registered Psychotherapist
Art Therapy · 5 years experience
Yumeka is a registered psychotherapist and a professional art therapist with 4 years of experience in the field. Yumeka uses a mix of talk therapy, art therapy and EMDR therapy through a trauma informed and culturally informed lens. Yumeka is originally from Japan and lived in different parts of the world as an immigrant herself. Yumeka loves to learn and immerse herself in different cultures and she thrives to learn about different ways of living from the clients as well. I believe all of us are capable of change at any age with certain determination and compassionate support. I took many detours before coming into the mental health career and felt lonely and worthless. Art helped me number of times in my dark moments. It gave me an opportunity to grow and let me express difficult emotions. I believe now it is my turn to help others in difficult situations and provide support, relaxation and opportunity for self-discovery through creative expression of art therapy.
