Meet Randi Yaffa
D-TATI, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Art therapist - storyteller - limitless creative
I'm Randi, a qualified art therapist (Toronto Art Therapy Institute) with a BAA in film and photography.
Before transitioning into art therapy, I spent my career telling stories as a world-class, award-winning film and television producer. With art, I combine story, material, and care to help people make meaning.
Today, I use that same passion for creative expression to help individuals and groups tell their own stories and heal through art.
