1:1 VIRTUAL + IN-PERSON EXPRESSIVE ART THERAPY FOR MOTHERS
Calming the chaos of motherhood with creativity.
You're a damn good mother.
There is no questioning that. EVER.
But… despite your best intentions, you feel a little stuck, maybe invisible, a lot guilty and a touch burned out. Who has time for real self-care?
If you just keep going, researching, and scrolling for the “right” ways to be a “good” mother, you’ll find the magical solution and finally feel worthy and enough.
SORRY MAMA, THAT'S JUST NOT HOW THIS WORKS.
TL;DR
I help mothers find their creative path to authenticity + worthiness in order to actually cope with the bittersweet chaos of motherhood.
Hey there mama! I’m Kayla Huszar
As an ADHD mom, Registered Social Worker* and Expressive Art Therapist, I know how to read between the lines and listen to what you’re really saying.
I can take your darkest, twistiest and most magical moments of motherhood and heal them with creativity so that you finally feel like someone sees and hears you, the real you.
My superpower is helping you rediscover your audacious, unapologetic, zesty and imperfect self.
I support pregnant, postpartum and parenting women with creative counselling and coaching (regardless of whether your child is the size of a cantaloupe, two weeks or twenty years old).
* services are claimable on your health benefits and/or income tax
something really amazing happens when you choose yourself as a mother.
The work of being a parent is so f*ing important and deeply serious. You’re here because you’ve sacrificed a lot of your time to ensure that you are a good parent.
Yet you still don’t feel like it’s enough.
If it were as easy as waiving a magic wand, you'd be feeling audacious and worthy, like yesterday.
The bottomless pit of info on “how to be a good mom” makes you feel like there’s something wrong with you, but here’s the thing: you are not the problem.
You just haven’t had someone in your corner saying it’s ok to take a f*cking hot minute for yourself (and not feel guilty about it).
The most effective way to feel good enough is to give yourself permission to rediscover who you are, define how want to show up, and why it matters.
(aka. mother from your values without society's BS expectations so you can break cycles and be calm in tough moments)
Creative counselling + coaching
for the mom who feels invisible and longs to rediscover her brave, playful, audacious, unapologetic identity.

Do you want to feel better starting today?
These 90-minute no-BS single sessions are designed to be practical and focused on what you want and need right now, rather than delving into the backstory. We'll concentrate on one topic, and you'll feel better after just one session.
Sound unbelievable? This is the power of expressive arts. It unlocks your subconscious, helps you process stored emotions, and allows you to rediscover your true self.
These single sessions are perfect for targeting “issues” like:
birth story
postpartum
mental load
finding your spark
authenticity
perfectionism
guilt
burn out
rage

I'm now offering three hour (or half day intensive) sessions!
Rumor has it…
What is expressive art therapy?
Expressive art therapy, also referred to as "art as therapy" or "therapeutic art," is an evidence-based and non-clinical approach to processing emotions and experiences.
It involves using creative tools to navigate the chaos of motherhood. It’s a blend of doodling, collaging, and writing to express emotions, untangle thoughts, and manage stress.
Think of it as a fun, messy, and deeply personal way to process your experiences and find some much-needed emotional relief.
My Therapy Style:
I don't follow traditional clinical practices, so I won't diagnose you or use medical treatment models. Instead, I care about the process and what you need from it today. I blend principles from social work and expressive art therapy with the concepts of mindfulness and modern motherhood.
You won't regret finding yourself (again); stop feeling like what you do is never enough and find your inner “good enough.”
I have time in my schedule next week if you want to meet to discuss how art as therapy can regulate and revolutionize your motherhood.
Do you have time next week?

The process is quite simple if you're interested in trying it out.
Book your no-cost 20-minute consult where I find out more about you, what keeps you up at night, and so on.
If we are a good match, we will schedule a 90-minute first session. Once the date is confirmed, I will send you an agreement form to sign, a list of supplies, and invoice details.
If you're interested in more sessions, we will schedule weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly sessions. I recommend starting with at least 6 sessions together.

First, you'll give an update, and then we'll move on to a specific question, topic, or theme you want to explore. After that, we'll take a moment to chill and meditate, guided or unguided. Then, we'll get creative and make some art or do any other creative expression. After that, you'll reflect on what you made and write about it. Finally, we'll wrap it up by discussing what was created, the process, how you feel about it, and any 'ah-ha' moments or takeaways.
