Carapace Center

Welcome to Carapace Center!

Centre Carapace was founded by Ms. Masumi Mizoguchi, of japanese origin and a postgraduate HES practitioner in art therapy with 15 years of experience.

I chose to name my practice Carapace Center because I want to offer a space as secure as a turtle's shell. A protective environment where everyone can feel confident to explore, express, and freely share their social, psychological, and emotional concerns.

Over the years, especially while working with children with behavioral challenges and their families, I’ve observed that spaces for free expression are becoming increasingly rare. In a world where we are constantly watched and judged — often amplified by social media — it is difficult to find a place where emotions can be expressed without fear of criticism.

Centre Carapace aims to support you in the process of building or rebuilding your intrinsic values.

To mark the occasion of renewing my website, I’ve also defined three areas of focus: 

• Art Therapy for children and their families
• Therapy for integration challenges (Intercultural therapy)
• Support circle for healthy aging (French only)

The Carapace center is a gateway for each person on the path to well-being, in accordance with their own natural will and at their own pace. No creative experience is required and the content of our work will remain strictly confidential.
