Episode 49: Differentiating and Developing a Voice within a Rigorous Dance Training Program

We end DanceWell's second season by chatting with two former ballerinas turned mental health practitioners: Dr. Miriam Rowan, PsyD and Katherine (Kate) Wilson, LICSW. These women discuss identity development in the young pre-professional ballet dancer, the importance of maintaining a diversity of relationships, finding a voice and unique identity, and creating spaces to open up and self-express.

*Please note that since recording this episode, Dr. Rowan has had a career change. She is now working at her own practice: Rowan Psychotherapy and Consulting!

Get in touch with Miriam and Kate at dr.miriamrowan@gmail.com and Kwilson@therapysecure.com respectively.
