Hello! My name is Xu Wang (they/them) and I am the creator of Artfeels Counselling and Art Therapy.

Colonially, I’m known as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC # 14331) and an Art Therapist.

I’m a “therapish” healer, blending anti-oppressive and decolonizing approaches to support BIPOC, trans, queer, disabled, neurodivergent, and parenting communities. My intention is to create a space where people’s experiences and identities are honoured through openness, vulnerability, and playfulness.

    Talk and Play Therapy

    I provide talk and art therapies informed by feminist, narrative, somatic, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) modalities.

    Hormone Readiness Assessment

    As a trans-affirming practitioner, I offer hormone readiness assessment (AKA Hormone Care Planning) for clients seeking gender-affirming care, following WPATH guidelines to provide compassionate, informed, and individualized support throughout their journey.

    Supervision and Consultation

    I offer clinical supervision for practicum students and mentorship for community healers. My role is to support those seeking to decolonize care and radicalize psychotherapy, working together to dismantle systemic barriers.

    Group and Workshops

    I specialize in designing and facilitating art therapy groups and experiential workshops, exploring intersecting identities through art and play.

    I'm currently exploring the possibility of a pilot play-therapy group focused on video-game-assisted healing experiences
