Dance Movement Therapy

Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) is an approach that uses movement to support emotional, cognitive, physical, and social well-being. At CTN, we integrate Dance/Movement Therapy into our holistic, relationship-focused treatment model, emphasizing strength, play, and self-expression. This approach is particularly beneficial for children who experience challenges in verbal communication, sensory regulation, and emotional expression.

​

Dance/Movement Therapy helps to:

• Foster emotional regulation and self-expression

• Enhance non-verbal communication and social engagement

• Support nervous system regulation and sensory integration

• Build self-awareness, confidence, and resilience

• Encourage creativity and movement as a means of processing experiences

​

We utilize Dance/Movement Therapy to support children and families navigating:

• Mental Health Challenges​

• Neurodiversity and Developmental Needs​

• Behavioral and Functional Concerns​

• Attachment and Family Dynamics​

​

Through movement, we create a safe and affirming space where children and families can explore, heal, and grow in a way that aligns with their unique needs.​​​​​​​
