Julie Vacca is a seasoned therapist with a rich and diverse background in psychology and counselling. After completing her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at the University of Alberta in 2002, Julie pursued her passion for art therapy, earning a graduate-level diploma from the Toronto Art Therapy Institute in 2007. Driven by a deep desire to expand her knowledge and skills, Julie returned to school in 2021 to complete a Master's in Counselling Psychology, further enriching her therapeutic expertise.
With years of experience in mental health and addiction settings, Julie has honed her skills in working with clients of all ages, from children to adults. She has a particular interest in supporting individuals who have experienced addiction and trauma, drawing from her comprehensive understanding of these complex issues to provide specialized guidance and care.
Julie's journey with art has been deeply intertwined with her personal and professional growth. As a child, she found solace and expression through art and today, her artwork serves as a reflection of beauty and inspiration in the world. Julie views art as a powerful tool for self-care, self-reflection and exploration, incorporating it into her therapeutic practice to offer clients a unique avenue for healing and growth.
In her work, Julie takes a holistic approach that goes beyond traditional talk therapy. She seamlessly integrates evidence-based practices with creative interventions and energetic healing techniques, tailoring her approach to meet each client's individual needs and preferences.
