Email Me Send to Friend Website Lori A Huett PsyD, MA (303) 647-4861 About Groups Since our experiences live not just in our minds but in our bodies, we must engage all systems involved in conditioning, learning, and memory if we want to produce long-lasting changes in how we feel, think, and act. Traditional psychotherapy addresses the entity of the "mind" through verbal discourse. Most individuals seeking therapy, in one form or another, are searching for a new experience of themselves. Our holistic model literally gets clients "moving," which serves as a behavioral intervention positively affecting self-concept, body image, and confidence. In my 10+ years of counseling and rendering traditional psychotherapies, I have yet to observe changes of the magnitude that occur in the pole dance classes I teach. Profound alterations in how one experiences and views her body are transformed for women of all shapes, ages, and ability levels. Dr. Lori Huett is a behavioral health specialist and former dancer with the NYC Joffrey Ballet. With over 24 years of professional dance training and credentials in clinical and counseling psychology, she brings an effective integration of existential philosophy, behavioral-based learning, and principles of anatomy into her practice.

By using rhythm and muscle memory as therapeutic tools, individuals with Parkinson's improve their mobility, efficiency of movement, and quality of life off the dance floor, while enjoying a new means of artistic expression within a supportive community of fellow dancers, often struggling with similar obstacles. Classes consist of meditation and other "centering" exercises, seated lyrical warm-ups, and across-the-floor sequences. Elements of a variety of dance styles are explored in a positive environment that supports the mind-body connection in healing. More about this group Body Confidence & Self Esteem through Pole Dancing Distinct from a psychotherapy milieu, our focus is strictly on movement and facilitating physical and emotional expression through dancing; which, in particular, provides an empowering and safe way for women to connect with their emotions, bodies, inner strength and creativity. Pole dancing is unique in that it transcends all forms and styles, which allows for creative expression. Diminutive esteem and confidence are addressed by learning to "take up more space," "walk prouder," and move in a sensuous feminine way that powerfully connects women to the beauty of their bodies. Groups consist of women of all ages, shapes, and abilities. More about this group
