Beyond words. Drama therapy in Montreal for queer, trans, neurodivergent people and polyamorous folks

Somatic drama therapy

Sometimes words are not enough.

A session on the rug: one person holds out a white mask toward Flow, who sits opposite, smiling.

Somatic drama therapy combines talking with creative and body-based methods. You don’t need to be good at art, and there is no right or wrong way to take part. Each session follows your pace, your story, and your life context.

Safety comes first in my work. My approach is somatic, relational, creative, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive, and I welcome your experience in all its complexity, especially if traditional therapy hasn’t worked for you.

You might be

…or exhausted from trying to fit into a world that doesn’t seem built for you.

Drama therapy

What happens in the room.

Available in person in Old Montreal, or online via video call or phone.

Flow’s therapy room: a pegboard wall of masks and props, a large white wall to draw on, a rug with a round floor cushion and a pouf, two velvet chairs and a big ball in a net.

  1. Masks

    Explore the different roles you take in life, and understand which ones you want more of or less of.

  2. Props & small figures

    Use play and creative expression to explore thoughts and emotions that are difficult to put into words.

  3. A wall to draw on

    Use creative tools (like drawing) to create distance from difficult feelings, so you can understand them more clearly.

  4. The floor

    Use creative tools (like movement or body awareness) to feel and notice your emotions more clearly.

  5. Somewhere soft

    I want my therapy room to be a safe haven for you. There are blankets and pillows.

Sessions

On your own, or with your people.

Flow Gall

Drama therapist and dance artist.

Flow, smiling, chin resting on one hand, leaning on the back of a velvet armchair.

Master of Arts in Creative Arts Therapies (Drama Therapy), Concordia University. Certificate in Response-Based Practice. Trans Mental Health Training, Institute for Trans Health.

Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC #10005040) with the CCPA, and member of the Academy of Naturopaths and Naturotherapists of Canada (#21-6579).

I am Flow (they/he), a somatic drama therapist and dance artist. I am a trans masculine non-binary person, an immigrant from northern France who moved to Canada at age 8, with Polish and German ancestry. My lived experience informs a deep sensitivity to migration, identity, gender, and belonging. I am neurodivergent, and I bring particular attention to atypical ways of functioning, nervous system regulation, and sensory needs within the therapeutic space.

My work also includes a somatic approach to consent, attentive to boundaries, listening, and adjustment within the relational body.

I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Religious Studies (UQAM), which informs my practice through an understanding of meaning-making systems, spiritualities, and diverse cultural experiences. This helps me welcome identity-based, symbolic, and existential experiences as well.
