“Jasper was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend working with Queer Art Therapy for any of your mental health, wellness, or expressive art opportunities.

Jasper was extremely responsive, professional, and well prepared for the workshop. I was really impressed with the pre-work and activities he prepared; especially since the scope of work was broad, Jasper really delivered a great workshop. Our team was equally satisfied and expressed really enjoying the exercises he took us through.”

- Mimi Roy, Supervisor

“Zoom groups with Jasper were the highlight of my week. Groups were thought provoking, creative, well thought out with care and understanding. Plus zoom was utilized to its full potential in ways I didn’t know were possible. Jasper fosters and models a space where each of us matter. Can’t put a price on exercising creativity in many forms, self-expression and non-judgemental sharing. I truly treasure these groups close to my heart.”

“Jasper is amazing!  You might not think that someone with such a wild and wacky imagination could be so intensely intelligent.  He is an intellectual with a vast energy for creativity, a deep compassion and love for humanity, and honesty and generosity that is hard to match.”

- Luci, Participant

“My granddaughter and I loved the Bake Therapy workshop and as a cisgender person, I appreciated the Gender Identity workshop where I felt safe from embarrassment and judgement when asking questions and participating.  Jasper's workshops are fun, informative and expansive.”
