Erica Hornthal on her book Body Aware

ERICA HORNTHAL is a licensed clinical professional counselor, board-certified dance/movement therapist, and the CEO and founder of Chicago Dance Therapy. Since graduating with her MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Counseling from Columbia College Chicago, Erica has worked with thousands of patients aged 3-107. Known as “The Therapist Who Moves You,” Hornthal is changing the way people see movement with regard to mental health.  In this conversation, we explore embodiment from the perpective of those without words, those whose voices and expression are through their bodies.  Erica describes the inspiration for her book and the honor of supporting those older adults with dementia in their journey.
