Who We Are

Gilda Grossman, MSW, RSW Dip., TATI, RCAT
Art Therapist

The art therapy group sessions at The Pencer Centre are available to patients who have been living with brain tumours for a number of years, as well as those recently diagnosed. Art therapy provides patients with an essential outlet for expressing their response to their illness, while at the same time affirming their individual strengths and creativity.
