The SaltyTree Story 鹽樹的故事
At SaltyTree, we explore, discover, and celebrate creativity and resilience together. The name SaltyTree speaks of a tree that finds its way within a specific landscape, transforming a harsh, salt-laden ground into an established tree. 在鹽樹，我們一同探索、發掘並慶祝那份創造力與韌性。鹽樹的名字，訴說著一棵在特定地景中尋得出口的樹，它將嚴酷且充滿鹽分的土地，轉化為穩固佇立的樹木。
Yet, we also deeply know that no tree can grow isolated from the ecosystem; our growth is always shaped by the environment and soil we inhabit. But please remember, you are never the burdens you carry. In art therapy, personal identity remains distinct from individual hardships. 然而，我們也深知沒有一棵樹能孤立於生態之外；我們的成長總受到所處環境與土壤的形塑。但請記得，你永遠不等於你所背負的重擔。在藝術治療中，個人身份始終獨立於個人的困境之外。
When external challenges bring worry, anger, or fear, whether born from personal hardships or the pressures of systemic injustice and the outside world, these emotions are natural responses to difficult circumstances. We are dedicated to providing a supportive space where you can explore and express your experiences through creative expression, regardless of the scale of the environment. 當外部挑戰帶來憂慮、憤怒或恐懼時，無論這份沉重源於個人的生命困境，或是來自外部世界與體制的壓力，這些情緒都是面對艱難處境時的自然反應。我們致力於提供一個支持性的空間，讓您能透過創造性表達來探索並抒發您的經驗，無論外部環境如何。
Experiencing Art Therapy 親歷藝術治療
Art therapy blends visual art, creative writing, and poetry to help individuals process complex emotions. The focus rests entirely on the creative process and symbolic meaning rather than artistic skill. This multi-sensory approach allows individuals to creatively express life challenges, manage anxiety, and encourage personal growth in a format distinct from traditional talk therapy. Art therapy provides a quiet sanctuary to evaluate and process experiences. Open to all skill levels and with all creative backgrounds welcome, everyone is welcome to practice and explore creative expression anchored in individual dignity and purpose. 藝術治療結合了視覺藝術、創意寫作與詩歌，陪伴個人梳理與處理複雜的情緒。焦點完全放在創作過程與象徵意義上，而非藝術技巧本身。這種多感官的方法讓人們能以不同於傳統談話治療的形式，創造性地表達生命挑戰、管理焦慮，並促進個人成長。藝術治療提供了一個寧靜的避風港來審視與整合經驗。我們歡迎所有創作背景與能力層級的人士，在個體尊嚴與目標的基礎上，共同實踐與探索創造性表達。
Diverse and flexible channels of expression are available, designed to support you as you externalize and reshape your experiences through the creative process. We provide a structured space where you can create with privacy and safety, ensuring that your creative output receives full respect and professional acknowledgment. 我們提供多元且彈性的表達管道，旨在支持您透過創作歷程將內在經驗具象化並重新形塑。我們提供結構化的空間，讓您可以在隱私與安全感中進行創作，確保您的作品獲得充分的尊重與專業認可。
Through color, line, shape, and texture, we help you give visible form to complex ideas that are difficult to put into words. This approach engages your experiences and your relationship with the outside world through art materials. Whether your work involves building, layering, dismantling, or simply processing difficult emotions, the creative process offers tangible opportunities for exploration and expression. 透過色彩、線條、形狀與質地，我們協助您將那些難以用言語表達的複雜想法賦予可見的形狀。這種方法透過藝術媒材觸及您的經驗以及您與外在世界的連結。無論您的創作包含建構、堆疊、拆解，抑或僅僅是抒發沉重的感受，創作歷程都提供了切實的探索與表達契機。
This process centers on your strengths while honoring your individual pace. We provide active partnership and guidance through goal-oriented sessions, focusing on helping you identify your skills and find practical tools to move forward—whether that means developing strategies to regain focus, gaining clarity on your next steps, or fostering a renewed sense of vitality, voice, and confidence. 這個歷程以您的優勢為核心，同時敬重您個人的步調。我們在目標導向的會談中提供積極的夥伴關聯與引導，著重於協助您辨識自身的技能，並尋得邁步向前的實用工具——無論那是建立重新聚焦的策略、明確下一步的思路，抑或是重拾活力、發聲與自信。

Through a thoughtful choice of art materials and dedicated dialogue, support is provided whether the goal is navigating a challenging season, building measurable resilience, or expanding personal potential within a secure therapeutic framework. 一個專屬的專業支持空間，透過創造性表達來探索您的經驗。透過精心挑选的藝術媒材與專屬對話，無論目標是度過艱難的季節、建立可衡量的韌性，還是在安全的專業框架內拓展個人潛能，我們都將提供全力支持。

Art Therapist Beverly Chan 藝術治療師 陳欣慈
Hello, and welcome. I am Beverly Chan. 你好，歡迎。我是陳欣慈 (Beverly)。
I am an art therapist, a Christian artist, and a graduate of the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. Throughout my journey, I have supported individuals from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating learning differences, health challenges, the emotional adjustments surrounding changes in memory and cognition, and experiences of personal loss. Over time, I have come to see how each person’s story holds the power to grow, to connect, and to influence others. 我是一位藝術治療師、基督徒藝術家，畢業於溫哥華藝術治療學校（Vancouver Art Therapy Institute）。在我的執業歷程中，我曾支援來自不同背景的人士，包括面對學習差異、健康挑戰、圍繞記憶與認知變化的情緒適應，以及經歷個人喪失的個案。隨著時間的推移，我深切看見每個人的故事都擁有成長、連結及影響他人的力量。
In my sessions, I aim to offer a welcoming space that facilitates artmaking through a person-centred, strengths-based philosophy. I believe art therapy can be a meaningful gift for many, as small acts of artmaking create opportunities to communicate, explore experiences, and foster resilience. 在我的治療會談中，我提供一個包容溫暖的空間，以人為本和優勢導向的哲學來促進藝術創作。我深信藝術治療是送給許多人的珍貴禮物，因為微小的藝術創作行為能為溝通、探索經驗與召喚韌性創造契機。
My Practice Framework 我的專業實踐框架
In this work, I define professionalism as the act of maintaining a responsive, ethical, and structured framework for support and growth. Much like a resilient coastal ecosystem that stands firm against storms, I look to the interconnectedness of our shared environment to inform my professional values. Inspired by crabs, this framework outlines my approach to therapeutic containment, adaptive practice, and contextual awareness: 在工作之中，我將「專業」定義為維持一個具回應力、合乎倫理且結構化的支持與成長框架。就像一個能抵抗風暴的堅韌海岸生態系統，我依循我們共享環境的相互連結來塑造我的專業價值。受到螃蟹的啟發，此框架概述了我對於專業承載、彈性實踐及環境覺察的方法：
Empathy & Boundaries (The Claws & The Waves) 同理與邊界（雙螯與波浪）
Where two claws make contact, the imagery captures the protective nature inherent in new encounters. While waves symbolize the dynamic nature of relationships, the intersecting blue lines represent the complex emotions exchanged in our interactions. My intention is to maintain a vital balance between empathy and therapeutic containment, ensuring a secure, structured space where your experiences and emotions can be explored. 在雙螯接觸的意象中，捕捉了新相遇中固有的保護本能。波浪象徵關係中的動態變化，而交織的藍色線條代表互動中交流的複雜情緒。我的目標是在同理與專業承載之間維持至關重要的平衡，確保建立一個安全且結構化的空間，讓您的經驗與情緒能得到深刻探索。
Adaptive Support (Flexibility & Responsiveness) 彈性支援（靈活與回應）
Reflected in the flexibility of the crab, this framework mirrors the changing conditions of the sea. Rather than applying a rigid, one-size-fits-all formula, I adapt my approach to your individual needs, lived experiences, and circumstances while maintaining a consistent therapeutic framework. 正如螃蟹的靈活性所展現，此框架映照出海洋多變的環境。我不會套用死板、一成不變的公式，而是根據您個人的需求、生命經驗與處境來調整我的方法，同時始終維持穩固一致的治療框架。
Sensitivity & Awareness (The Ripple Effect) 敏感度與覺察（漣漪效應）
Where a crab rests at a ripple, subtle blue lines trace the invisible currents of the surrounding environment. This symbolizes an awareness of the context each person brings into the therapeutic space. Just as a coastal ecosystem is shaped by the conditions around it, I strive to remain responsive to the systemic factors, environments, cultures, and diverse backgrounds that influence the lives of those I support. 當螃蟹停歇在漣漪之處，細微的藍色線條描繪出周圍環境隱形的洋流。這象徵著對每個人帶入治療空間之脈絡與背景的敏銳覺察。正如海岸生態系統受其周遭條件的形塑，我努力對影響我所支持者生命的系統性因素、環境、文化及多元背景保持深切的回應力。
