Ms. Hurst is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Dance/Movement
Therapist, Certified Movement Analyst and adjunct faculty
of Columbia College Chicago’s Dance/Movement Therapy Department
where she earned her Master of Arts degree in 1996. Ms. Hurst
has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety
of mental health settings and has developed competency in
the treatment of depression, anxiety disorders, emotional
regulation, body image issues and chemical dependency. She
also works with clients who have eating disorders, coronary
heart disease and somatic illnesses.
Using Dance/Movement Therapy,
Ms. Hurst guides an individual, or group, to address challenging
mind-body-spirit issues from a holistic perspective. Since
the body, mind and spirit are inter-related, the entire individual
is affected while moving. Through verbal processing of the
client’s movement, images, memories and emotions, Ms. Hurst
assists clients in identifying functional and unhealthy life
patterns. The newfound awareness from this process helps the
client make the cognitive, behavioral and relational changes
necessary in order to create a greater sense of harmony in
the body, mind and spirit. Ms. Hurst believes that the therapeutic
relationship and the creation of a safe, non-judgmental environment
helps to foster the client’s connection with his/her core
self.
