Mollia Kennedy

BFA, DTATI, Registered Psychotherapist

Mollia May Kennedy is an Art Therapist and Registered Psychotherapist practicing in Barrie, Ontario. 

 

"What first inspired me to become an art therapist was in witnessing the power of art in supporting my own mental health journey. I realised that I could express and work through a lot of concerns that were weighing on me. Now, I am a fully certified art therapist and aspire to support others through the unique benefits of art therapy."

Therapeutic Approach

Walking Alongside You in this Journey

Through my experience as an art therapist, I have found the best way to engage in therapy is through curiousity and collaboration. My personal therapeutic approach integrates humanistic, anti-oppressive, and mindfulness-based art therapy. I have specialized expertise working with children, adolescents, and families, specifically in supporting neurodigent individuals, mental or physical disabilities, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, living with a terminal illness, and pain or stress management.

Our 
Story

IMG_2778.jpg

Where It All Started

Creative Healing Canada (CHC) began with the hope of creating positive change in our community with the passion of helping others. Beginning in 2022, we set out for our goal of getting involved in our community by providing meaningful and affordable art therapuetic services across Northern Ontario and to help bridge the gap in our mental health care systems today. 

Building a Creative Community Through Arts & Healing 

Over the next few years, we have had the privilege to provide creative wellness workshops and art therapy groups to a variety of community agencies including schools, adult day programs, public libraries, long-term care homes, and museums such as Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA).

Looking Ahead

What's Next in Our Journey

As of 2026, Creative Healing Canada (CHC) continues to expand its programming by offering online and in-person art psychotherapy services, as well as nature-based art therapy workshops through community partnerships. We look forward to a future in which we can creatively heal collectively as well as through our own personal journeys. 

Acknowledgment

Recognizing Indigenous People, Lands, & Cultures

The suffering of the many missing, murdered, and mistreated Indigenous identities and communities must be recognized in relation to our inherited privileges. The traditional territory of many generations of First Nations, Inuit and Métis communities - I call this beautiful land home. Although I may call this my home, I respect and honour the many lives, cultures, and growing beings that share this home too.

 

As part of my efforts towards reconciliation, I am dedicated to continue educating myself, advocating for the rights and diginity of Indigenous communities, supporting the arts, lives, and cultures of Indigenous folk, and reflecting on the depth of my inherited privileges in an attempt to reconcile my relationship with others and this land.
