Avá Renée Sloan, MA, BSc, ATR

I take a therapeutic arts-based companioning approach, held by the values of curiosity, trust, and emergence (grace). As a companion, I walk alongside, supporting the development of the inquirer’s own inner knower/ healer through an attuned, curious attentiveness into lived and living experience. With loving respect for you and your path, I hold faith in its ultimate direction being one inseparable from healing and wholeness.

My therapeutic approach is mindfulness-based (bringing awareness to the present moment), underpinned by existential psychology (asking broader questions, exploring purpose & meaning), and rooted firmly in ecopsychology (exploring ways to deepen our relationship with earth and spirit to improve physical and mental health). My way of being with clients (inquirers) is loving and very direct.
