Welcome

Ingrid J Lacey
MA, LPC, BC-DMT, GLCMA, CPCS, NCC, ASMP, Certified Chi for Two Embodiment Coach

Hello! I am so glad you're here.
I invite you to dance with these words as I share a bit more about myself! I am a licensed professional counselor, board-certified dance movement therapist, certified movement specialist & educator, certified professional clinical supervisor, and a certified Chi for Two® Embodiment Coach.
My work is a synthesis of verbal and non-verbal somatic psychotherapy, dance movement therapy, Chi for Two (a mindful embodiment method) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy from a Humanistic, Existential lens. As an homage to my English & Irish ancestry, I interweave elements of Celtic spirituality to cultivate a richly textured therapeutic movement relationship.
​
I completed my MA in Dance/Movement Therapy & Counseling from Columbia College Chicago, after teaching dance, working with at-risk youth and performing professionally in England and the Republic of Ireland for several years. I have a passion for music, poetry and gardening, cooking, languages and travel. I am in awe of how richly culture enlivens our energetic dances.
I maintain a private psychotherapy practice, provide clinical supervision, and serve as an educator and public speaker. I am an active member of the American Dance Therapy Association Southern Chapter, and the Atlanta dance community.
​
With Heartfelt Gratitude,
Ingrid~
