Dance/Movement Therapist
Dr. Lynda Naimoli, PhD
Dance/movement therapy is not just dancing and moving. Small shifts in movement and breath are also taken into account. It is not dance lessons, however, some technique can be introduced and incorporated in a session. Dance/movement therapists may also incorporate a mind-body technique such as yoga that targets the client’s goals like improving balance and strength. DMT is a specialized form of treatment that requires extensive training at a master’s level and clinical supervision. "As a dance/movement therapist I acknowledge all movement by seeing the individual as who they are and what they can do, and not what they cannot do”.
Erika Cantin is a graduate student at Antioch University New England, pursuing a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy. Drawing on her experience in art education, she has worked with young folks across developmental stages, from childhood through young adulthood, as well as with families. She wants to support individuals navigating grief and loss, anxiety, stress, life transitions, and personal growth. Inspired by the idea of making the invisible visible, she views art as a way to explore experiences and emotions that can sometimes be difficult to express through words alone. Erika believes that therapy can be a supportive and collaborative space where people can find meaningful ways to talk about their experiences and develop a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them.
