Alāna McLeod - OEATA Member Directory

I am an expressive arts therapist and trauma therapist currently residing and practicing in Sudbury, Ontario. I have a diploma in expressive arts therapy from The CREATE Institute in Toronto, Ontario and a Master’s degree in expressive arts therapy, with a minor in psychology from The European Graduate School in Sass- Fee, Switzerland. I have also completed Level 1 & 2  in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy from the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute. I am committed to expanding my range of skills and knowledge in the field of psychotherapy and human relationships.

In broadening my range of knowledge and skills I have taken a variety of additional training in gender issues within the 2SLGBTQ+ communities, shame and trauma, addiction, grief & bereavement, suicide as well as the arts and Indigenous ways of knowing and being in relation to healing.

I am particularly interested in empowerment through different ways of storytelling, through body movement, visual art, writing, voice work, film and photography and music making. I am also concerned with the impacts our socioeconomic and environmental positions have on health.
