Jillian Glace M.A., L.P.C., R-DMT

Hello, my name is Jillian. I sincerely honor the courage it takes to seek support for one's mental health.

My specialized training in somatic psychotherapy, particularly dance/movement therapy, has afforded me a holistic perspective on the complex dimensions of the person, including the connection between mind, body, and spirit. I have witnessed meaningful and measurable change in response to effective dance/movement therapy and other body-based interventions for people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other mental health concerns.

I am committed to multicultural education, including participating in the training and self-awareness needed to engage in effective, culturally appropriate, informed practice with diverse populations such as the BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities.

Beyond clinical practice, I am a freelance choreographer, passionate about the interplay between dance as an art form and dance as therapy. My credits include originally created work presented both locally and abroad, as well as facilitating college-level workshops on the introduction to dance/movement therapy and how dance and creative expression impact mental health.

Communities:

  • Adults 18-64

  • Older Adults 65+

  • BIPOC Community

  • LGBTQIA2S+ Community

Specialties:

  • Somatic (body-based) interventions such as body awareness, expressive movement (dance and movement for therapeutic value), and breathing techniques for stress relief and anxiety

  • Trauma-informed interventions to manage distress and overwhelm

  • Creative, body-based interventions that honor the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in mental health wellness

I am passionate about working with women (any person who identifies as a woman, including cis-gender, trans, and non-binary individuals) from young adulthood to older adulthood, struggling with self-esteem, insecurities, body image, chronic physical illness, depression, anxiety, isolation, feelings of non-belonging, identity crises, relationship concerns, spiritual crises, grief, and anger. I specialize in working with women at different stages of life who identify as successful in many areas yet feel insecure about how they "measure up" against societal expectations of "womanhood." Additionally, I am dedicated to supporting women in places of transition, navigating burnout, working through adjustments, and experiencing physical stressors including infertility and reproductive concerns/crises. I am committed to engaging clients in movement/somatic-based practices and creative/expressive interventions in addition to verbal processing.
