I talk with dance movement therapist, Yael Beth-Halachmi M.A. DMT about parent-child dance therapy and how the power of the relationship may be the key to helping children move through their challenges.

Yael is a Dance Movement Therapist, specialized in Early Childhood and Infant-Parent Mental Health. Recently she has developed an intervention model for ‘Relational Dance-Therapy’ integrating Dance, Dance-Therapy and Dyadic (parent-child) Psychotherapy. She has been working for many years with young children and their families dealing with developmental and emotional challenges, such as ASD, ADHD and anxiety. Yael is also a mother of 3 boys, currently living and working in Montreal.
