The Center For
Movement Psychology
Mission:
Help individuals enhance their mental health with a regular movement practice. Equip mental health professionals with the knowledge and competence to support their clients on their mental health journey.
Vision:
Bring the “mind” and the “body” back together by promoting evidence based and empirically supported movement practices for mental health and psychological flourishing; Cultivate a world where movement is a normal, fun and fulfilling part of every person’s lifestyle.
For decades the “gold standard” for mental health treatment has been psychotherapy. We all know that exercise is “good for you”, but emerging evidence suggests that physical activity can be just as good for your mental health as talk therapy.
At the Center for Movement Psychology, we integrate both into a single modality.
