Re-create your life’s story
Therapy that honours the mind, body and creative self.
Welcome to Golem Expressive Arts Therapy
Have you ever worked with a therapist who’s also a professional artist? Someone who holds space in a quiet clay and art studio, where healing happens through deep connection, reflection, and gentle invitations to create?
I’m Anna Maliatski, a Registered Therapeutic Counsellor and Expressive Arts Therapist. I offer therapy in English, Russian, and Hebrew, either in my Burnaby studio or online across Canada. My approach is warm, creative, and always shaped by what matters most to you.
Who I Work With:
I support teens, adults, and elders navigating:
Anxiety, stress, or burnout
Grief, loss, or big life transitions
Parenting or caregiving challenges
Immigration experiences or cultural identity
Inner conflict or low self-worth
The lingering effects of emotionally immature caregivers
Creative blocks or questions of meaning and direction
How I Work:
I blend counselling, parts work (IFS), mindfulness, and expressive arts therapy into a process that feels intuitive and supportive.
Art-making is welcome but always optional — sessions can include clay, movement, writing, or simply talking and being present. We follow your pace, your language, and your comfort.
Sessions are available:
In person in my Burnaby art studio and office
Online anywhere in Canada
In English, Russian, or Hebrew
A Gentle Invitation:
Reconnecting with yourself is possible, even if it currently feels out of reach.
You don’t need to be ready — just open to the idea that something inside you may be asking for care, clarity, or change.
If something in you is stirring, I’d be honoured to walk alongside you.

In the quiet of the evening, a teacup rests,
As the golden sun descends, painting skies in hues of the fall.
Life's fleeting moments, like a sunset's graceful dance,
Embrace the heart's journey, weaving joy and grief in one.
Through seasons of laughter, and through sorrow's storm,
We shed tears of both joy and pain, in the circle of life's embrace.
For in each cry, a healing balm, and strength found in the breath of grace,
In the ebb and flow of love, we find solace in the face of death.

“I recently drew a map of my life, and it looked like lots of disconnected islands, each isolated from the other. It gave me clarity about where I am right now. It's like I created some space between me and my experiences. It's freeing and helps me see things less judgementally”
