Welcome

Hi! I'm Stephanie Sinclair a Dance Movement Therapist (R-DMT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Omaha studying Psychology and worked at the Omaha VA Medical Center as a research assistant while also performing as a dance artist for many years in Omaha. At the VA we researched aspects of a person's life that may put them at greater risk or protect them from developing an addiction to drugs and alcohol and what might support long term recovery. Some of our studies looked at gender differences, trauma, and access to care. Simultaneously, I was a performing artist and dance teacher. I performed with The Moving Company, Omaha Modern Dance Collective and later was a founding member of TBD Dance Collective in Omaha. I co-founded the dance program at the high school performing arts magnet in Omaha and taught there for several years before moving to Texas. 

After moving to Texas, I began creating original dance pieces for TBD Dance Collective and The Moving Company as well as teaching master classes. I graduated from the Expressive Arts Graduate program at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2021 with an MA in Mental Health Counseling and specialization in Dance Movement Therapy. Along the way, I have been a stay at home parent, homeschooled, worked as a dance teacher for after school programs, taught dance for youth on probation and youth in juvenile detention, worked for an Autism day habilitation center with children, provided Dance Movement Therapy in a psychiatric hospital, and currently work as a residential counselor at Nexus Family Recovery Center in Dallas where I  provide counseling and Dance Movement Therapy to mothers in residential treatment for drug and alcohol problems in a program that supports pregnant mothers and mothers and their children in recovering from the effects of addiction and trauma. 

I founded Embodied Moon with the desire to continue to expand options for therapy, and offer a somatic practice that is deeply healing, restorative and expressive. Additionally, I offer education and consulting to counseling professionals interested in moving beyond words in their own practice or who are wanting to develop a movement-based self care ritual. 

With Embodied Moon, I offer Dance Movement Therapy intertwined with nature, art-making, and talk therapy. I want to be of support to you in developing a healing practice that meets your needs.  

Hope to be in touch with you soon and until then....on with the dance! -Stephanie
