Welcome!

Cedar Sense Counselling and Art Therapy is rooted in empathy and inspired by the natural world. Grounded in the healing power of human connection and creative expression, I offer a space of acceptance, curiosity, and safety. Here, clients are invited to explore, express, and engage through art, nature, movement, and words. The goal is to create an encouraging environment where each person feels truly seen, heard, and supported on their unique path to healing.

About me

Seia Roots, MCP-AT, RCC

I’ve experienced firsthand the healing power of art. As a youth, I turned to art therapy and discovered how creativity could express what words often couldn’t. This early experience shaped my path—leading me to study visual arts at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, where I became especially drawn to the history of art as a therapeutic tool. I later pursued graduate studies in Counselling Psychology: Art Therapy, a journey supported by my deep connection to nature, which helped me navigate the intensity of academic and personal challenges. 

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve worked as a mental health curriculum developer, facilitator, and trainer of mental health workshops. Today, my practice weaves together my long-standing passions for art, nature, and skill-building to support holistic wellness. Grounded in a collaborative and integrative approach—including person-centred, trauma-informed, and multicultural feminist frameworks—I’m committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where each client feels respected, empowered, and truly seen on their path toward healing.
