Dr. Élysa Côté-Séguin, psychologist at CHU Sainte-Justine, will guide you through an exploration of dance therapy, a therapeutic approach that integrates movement and dance to promote emotional and psychological well-being. With her years of experience and collaboration with the National Centre for Dance Therapy (NCDT), Dr. Côté-Séguin offers a workshop that combines theory with practical exercises.
Workshop Objectives:
We accept a limited number of participants. Please reserve your place and, if you can't be there, let us know so we can accept a participant on the waiting list.
Élysa Côté-Séguin has worked as a family psychologist since 2018, first in a school setting (with both regular and specialized classes for children on the spectrum), and then in a clinical setting (both in a natal clinic for mothers at high risk and in a hospitalization unit in neonatology). She has completed a PhD in Psychology, Child and Teenage Intervention, at the University of Sherbrooke. Her doctoral thesis explored the impact of group dance therapy on body image for teenage girls hospitalized for an eating disorder.
She has also completed the Alternate Route program at the NCDT in 2014-2015 and has collaborated on various NCDT projects, offering adapted dance classes to children on the spectrum and dance therapy sessions at the Social Pediatrics Centre Le Galop. Her knowledge in dance therapy enriches her work as a psychologist, adding a corporal dimension to the oral psychological work.
She is currently attending a graduate diploma in perinatal psychology at the University of Quebec in Montreal (UQAM). She can thus adapt her practice to support parents through the various issues they may face during the pre-and post-natal period.
