Paint It Out is dedicated to supporting people to make sustainable well-being a part of their lives through: Trauma-informed Expressive Arts, Narrative, Photovoice and Sand Tray therapies.
We are trauma-informed, anti-racist, anti-oppressive, integrative and person-centred in our approach to healing, post-traumatic growth, increasing resiliency and self-compassion. My love for creativity and psychology combined with expressive arts to reduce stress, enhance well-being, and increase self-awareness create transformative healing experiences.
My name is Salima Andany, BSW, EXAT.
Artist, Expressive Arts Therapist, Facilitator. My pronouns are she/her.
My personal experience of trauma, Fibromyalgia and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), taught me the value of art and how to use art to heal, manage chronic pain, build resilience and cope with life's challenges. I believe once you've survived the hardest thing, whatever that is in your life, you have this weird confidence, a superpower that you can survive anything. My love for creativity and psychology motivates me to support others on their transformative therapeutic journey.
