• Therapy for Dancers

    Dance can be a wonderful, life-enriching experience that provides you with meaning, satisfaction, and joy. Yet, It’s easy to lose sight of why you dance when you’re caught up in the cycle of rehearsals, performance, and competition. 

    Studies show that people experience their first depressive episode in their late teen and early 20’s. This is the same time that dancers are going through the most stressful period of their training. 

    Common reasons for dancers to seek therapy include:

    • Low Self-esteem
    • Decreased motivation
    • Unrealistic expectations
    • Increased worries
    • Easily frustrated and unhappy
    • Decreased concentration
    • Decrease communication
    • Comparing yourself to other dancers
    • Difficulty managing stress and disappointment
    • Strong need for external validation
    • Constant negative self-talk
    • Feeling like you’re not good enough 
    • Desire to quit
