Fran Harwood

Fran Harwood, M.A. (Clin.Psych.), has been a psychotherapist in Toronto, specializing in Trauma and the Expressive Arts, for over 30 years. She has found that that the arts can articulate implicit layers of nonverbal and preverbal experience. They can also reveal and assist in the healing of trauma. She has a particular interest in the developmental process from conception, through birth into childhood and on, studying with both Dr William Emerson and Dr Graham Farrant in the conception to birth period. She trained in the Gestalt Institute of Toronto. Fran was a co-creator and faculty of ISIS Canada Expressive Arts Therapy Training Program in Toronto and also co-creator and faculty of the Body and Soul Energy Healing Training Program. She is currently teaching at The Creative Healers Institute in Toronto and ISIS Vancouver.
