Ingrid Lacey, MA, LPC/LPCC, CPCS, BC-DMT, GLCMA

This lecture will explore the somatic integrative relational dance of supervisory relationships. Applying an embodied approach to supervision facilitates a holistic process where the verbal and non-verbal aspects of insight and understanding are comprehended as an integrated whole. Drawing from Dance Movement Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, and Chi for Two® – The Energetic Dance of Healthy Relationship, attendees will learn body-based strategies to support their supervisees. This somatically informed approach provides multiple pathways to access emergent content during the supervisory session, revealing unconscious biases, and furthering self-reflective practice in therapeutic work.

Ingrid Jennifer Lacey, is a licensed professional counselor, board-certified dance movement therapist, certified movement specialist & educator, certified professional clinical supervisor, and a Chi for Two® Embodiment Coach. She completed her MA in Dance/Movement Therapy & Counseling from Columbia College Chicago, after teaching dance to marginalized populations and performing professionally in England and the Republic of Ireland. Ingrid maintains a private psychotherapy practice, and specializes in trauma, anxiety and mood disorders with adults. She enjoys integrating elements of expressive arts, Chi for Two, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Celtic spirituality with clients, students and clinical supervisees. Ingrid serves as adjunct faculty for alternate route dance therapy courses in Atlanta and Chicago, and enjoys being a part of the diverse dance community of Atlanta.
