Dance/movement Therapy

The American Dance Therapy Association (ADTA) defines dance/movement therapy as the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive and physical integration of the individual.

Being in connection and relationship is fundamental for so many aspects of our lives. How a person achieves a sense of connection and relationship is different from person to person and depends on experiences, memories, cultural contexts, and identities. Counseling is a way to explore wellness and growth in relationship both with oneself and others in a community.
