If you are world-weary or looking for a creative approach to healing, you are in the right place. As both a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed creative arts therapist, board certified in dance/movement therapy, I will encourage you to attend not just to your words, but to the messages that come from your body (includes your brain). I will introduce you to LivingDance(tm), to show you how to access and work with elements of dance and movement that relate to emotions, feelings of effectiveness, and identity development. You do not need talent or training to work with them.
I founded Kinectionsâ" in 1984 to integrate dance, music, and traditional methods of counseling. While working with people struggling with eating disorders and histories of abuse, I combined mindfulness, kinesthetic sensing, developmental milestones, improvisational dance, and creative processes. The result: LivingDance, an approach to which most people seem to respond.
In addition to using the LivingDance approach to work with individuals, couples, and groups, Kinections offers all the dance/movement therapy courses required for certification in dance/movement therapy. We are also the home of LivingMusic(tm). Locally, we offer monthly LivingDance~LivingMusic(tm) workshops . We also offer intensive LivingDance~LivingMusic programs nationally and internationally.
