From building self esteem to healing severe trauma, Art Therapy brings light, colour and hope to the lives of children and adults alike.


DR SHIRI HERGASS

Art Therapist . Clinical Social Worker . Group Facilitator

Shiri Hergass is a Clinical Social Worker and Art Therapist who has spent the last 25 years working with children and adults who have experienced trauma, and those who work with them.

Her work spans private practice, public facilitation and research.

“Shiri’s experience and background in working with children from trauma, helped children with a variety of vulnerabilities to feel safe and secure. The children would anticipate Shiri’s arrival, and would spend up to one hour engaged in group art. Shiri was able to engage children who would not usually participate in group learning experiences and build secure attachments with these children.”
