About Wendy

Wendy Huang, RCC, MCAT

Registered Clinical Counsellor, Art Therapist

I completed my bachelor’s degree in Linguistics and French at Simon Fraser University in 2007 and obtained a government position with the Government of British Columbia as an intake worker serving a wide range of direct or indirect contacts to hospitals, corrections, care centres, and health facilities for fifteen years.

In 2014, I had to take time off to deal with a critical illness. It was a life transition for me to explore and experience the power of art therapy. I want to introduce this healing method to those who are in need of this therapeutic process.

In 2021, I completed more than 700 hours of working with both direct and non-direct clients’ contacts and received direct supervision at Moving Forward Family Services, and at Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. In 2022, I graduated from Athabasca University, and Vancouver Art Therapy Institute and obtained a Master of Counselling Degree (MC) as well as an Advanced Diploma from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute (DVATI).
