Catherine Harris

Catherine has over 17 years of professional experience as a board-certified art therapist, meditation teacher, and yoga instructor. As an art therapist, Catherine has worked in a variety of settings from community centers and art museums to clinical mental health programs and medical hospital settings. Although the environments and populations have changed over time, one thing has remained a constant in her work, the guiding principle of helping individuals find ease while experiencing life’s inevitable moments of challenge and suffering.

Catherine now runs her own practice, HeartSpace Wellness Studio out of Nashville, TN, where she provides individual sessions in art therapy, classes and workshops for organizations, and clinical supervision for recent art therapy graduates. Catherine specializes in individuals with medical diagnoses and the related emotional toll, experiences of grief and loss, as well as women in life transitions. Catherine understands the healing powers of creativity, mindfulness, and yoga not only from her work as an art therapist but because she has experienced the profound benefits for herself for chronic pain, difficult life transitions, grief and loss, and compassion fatigue. Because of this, she is passionate about helping others navigate stressful and challenging times in their lives by finding the tools from within to leave them feeling calm, capable, and confident no matter what they may be facing.
