Other Info Dance/movement therapy assumes that a functional unity exists between the body and the mind and that therapeutic change occurs through direct experience of the present moment. One of the ways to engage the present moment is to stay awake in the body, the sensing, emoting, thinking body.

Movement provides us with a profound medium and metaphor for discovering where we are moving and where we are stuck. Dance/movement therapy is the psychotherapeutic use of movement to further the emotional, cognitive and physical integration of an individual.

Dance/movement therapists value the healing nature of the creative act, believe that movement has inner meaning and purpose, and outer expressive and communicative properties, and that body-mind synchronization is an essential component of healing.

Upon completion of the three-year degree program, graduates will receive an MA in Somatic Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Dance/Movement Therapy.
