Dance Movement Therapy

Dance movement therapy (DMT) for individuals is a form of psychotherapy that incorporates movement, dance, and body awareness as a way of promoting emotional, cognitive, physical, and social integration. DMT is based on the belief that the mind and body are interconnected and that movement can be used to promote healing and self-awareness.

​

During DMT sessions, a licensed therapist trained in DMT works with an individual to explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences through movement and dance. The therapist may guide the individual through structured movement exercises or encourage them to move freely and expressively. Through movement, the individual may gain insight into their emotions, develop new coping strategies, and improve their overall wellbeing.

​

DMT can be helpful for a range of mental health concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, eating disorders, and more. It can also be beneficial for individuals looking to improve their self-esteem, body image, and interpersonal relationships. DMT can be conducted in individual or group settings and can be adapted to meet the unique needs and abilities of each individual.
