That means that I weave physical movement, art, and metaphor into talking therapy to enable you to connect your thoughts and feelings to your body, and bring awareness to your unconscious process. I also highlight the dynamics of our therapist-client relationship as a tool to better understand other relationships in your life. In my practice, I believe it’s an important part of your therapy to consider your cultural background and how that has been part of your story. I help you explore the effects of culture, society, politics, identity and beliefs on your life and mental health. I am committed to support you regardless of you background, race, religion, gender, sexuality, or age. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1587111686418-P7VWP833ZT61OF8RCHD4/mukuko-studio-MQdkSBpWPho-unsplash.jpg Home - Find your home We all go through times in our lives where we struggle to feel grounded and sure of ourselves. In other words, we don’t feel at home within ourselves. For some, this is something that has been an issue their whole lives, and for others, it’s something that comes around during times of stress. Whether you would like to find your home for the first time or would like to get back to it, I can help you get there, because I engage all the important parts of who you are: your mind, body, feelings, and your unconscious. I do this through using movement and art to tap into those parts of yourself buried deep down and by making you aware of how you experience your emotions in your body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1625156052812-ZZXZ691FWHY6GV59FJKR/hudson-hintze-4ydjTMLKdR4-unsplash.jpg Home - Let’s bring your body into therapy Have you ever smelled something that brought a whole host of memories back? Memories that would have otherwise not been easy to summon? That is because our body is with us as we go through every moment of our lives. It houses our being. We process things as much physically as we do with our thoughts and feelings, and our body remembers these experiences. Connecting with the body allows us to be in tune with and at home within ourselves, which is essential to our wellbeing. This is where dramatherapy intersects with your psychotherapy to bring greater awareness to your body. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/c6df0207-f2ae-4a46-b085-69881a383255/P1070421.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1587118237330-F4ZIQNBDMSNDHWYP49BS/NKD+01 Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1587112201689-RIYS5PJRKIJ5BF6YWHDF/NKD+03 Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1587118256047-E2SK24641CVC27K6WIJZ/NKD+02 Home https://nardinekhalil.com/children daily 0.75 2021-12-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/b94330c4-d11a-4fc4-8d34-6d4c19099aeb/unsplash-image-7PvViX07Z4w.jpg Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604566343818-3L5QB6X7RRCV0Y05T28L/tina-floersch-CcbnSarTldQ-unsplash.jpg Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604563289944-UZOPCNGEO84UAWY85Z6B/pexels-sharon-mccutcheon-1148998.jpg Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604939113003-EZ6HS6ZHNZG71HA87JYR/paige-cody-FHFfHWWzbCc-unsplash.jpg Children - For children Children process their emotions by playing. They play out different scenarios from their past and develop a better understanding of themselves by trying out different responses and futures. combining traditional psychotherapy alongside drama therapy, I use stories and role play to discover different parts of ourselves, and art and music to bring them to life. Through this process, children discover more about themselves and their experience, while the I help them consider different outcomes and connections to develop healthy responses to adverse experiences and difficult emotions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604939170251-2HCUXPZS3IQ5I5QO5ILK/dan-ROJFuWCsfmA-unsplash.jpg Children - For young people A creative psychotherapy approach can help teenagers and young people connect with their bodies at a time when they are going through many physical changes, questions about their identity and belonging. Working creatively can help form healthy cognitive pathways and coping mechanisms to address their often tumultuous emotional experiences, and stress. This can help cultivate emotional literacy, develop confidence, and cultivate resilience, giving them tools they can use for the rest of their lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604940744020-NUYA3OE62XZ5YMR6J9G8/image-asset.png Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604940677851-B1Y3U3NF6BF62XV9H53R/image-asset.png Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604940706143-Q7815RF6YIWT9HH6AS2Z/image-asset.png Children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/0298cd9e-52d6-4f59-b86f-74faae450777/NKhalil Children https://nardinekhalil.com/dramatherapy-for-children daily 0.75 2021-11-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604939113003-EZ6HS6ZHNZG71HA87JYR/paige-cody-FHFfHWWzbCc-unsplash.jpg About dramatherapy for children https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e4c1ebac7561f02a7ac688e/1604939170251-2HCUXPZS3IQ5I5QO5ILK/dan-ROJFuWCsfmA-unsplash.jpg About dramatherapy for children
