Our Story

The journey of Nova Scotian Art Therapy began with a passion for both art and healing. As a child in Lower Sackville, Gabriella Rizkallah found solace in drawing and painting, discovering the profound impact creative expression can have on mental health. Through her own struggles, she learned to connect with her feelings and wanted to share this transformative experience with others. The studio specializes in supporting Autistic individuals, those in early stages of dementia, and addressing challenges such as anxiety, depression, and trauma through art therapy.
