Dance/Movement Psychotherapy for Black Women Living with Depression
Tired of trying to manage your depression on your own?
You've been living with depression for years and aren't quite sure when you last felt hopeful, energized, and content.
And you thought you could manage it all on your own, right?
You know what you "should" be doing, but feel too heavy, weighed down, and tired to do anything other than the bare minimum.
DEEP DOWN, YOU KNOW YOU NEED HELP.
Because no matter how much you want to, YOU CAN't JUST SHAKE IT OFF OR FIGURE IT OUT ON YOUR OWN.
This is a dance/movement psychotherapy group for Black women living with depression.
In addition to having a safe space to process + move through your emotions, you'll:
Better understand depression and how it affects your body
Gain an understanding of the ways in which food affects our mood
Increase resources for coping with depressive episodes
Learn body-based tools to restore your natural blueprint of health
Be in community with others whose experience may validate your own and support your own recovery
I'm Jennifer Sterling (she/her), a registered dance/movement psychotherapist and holistic nutritionist.
I help Black women living with depression understand what their unique bodies need to experience depression remission — a significant decrease in frequency and severity of depressive episodes.
In this online group program, I'll help you befriend and tend to your body, so you have a greater sense of what it feels like to really be well.
And by well, I mean vital, alive, and whole.
Having lived with depression for more than 20 years, I know how it feels to move through the world feeling heavy, tired, and hopeless.
If you're here, I imagine you are too!
But there is hope...I would love to support you in finding meaningful, nourishing ways to move through and manage your depression.

Our reasons for developing depression are varied and deep, so I can't promise that you will feel cured in three months time.
What you will gain, however, is a perspective and understanding of depression that isn't often talked about. This understanding makes it more possible for you to use the resources provided to tap into your own, natural capacity for vitality and well-being.
Can I get a refund if I don’t like the GROUP?
