ADTA Spotlight: Breanna Davis, MS, BC-DMT, LMHCA
We loved connecting with Breanna Davis as part of our ADTA Spotlight Series! Breanna’s journey into Dance/Movement Therapy began at the intersection of her love for competitive dance and psychology, inspiring her to find a way to keep dance in her life beyond performance.
As one of the few practicing Dance/Movement Therapists in Indiana, Breanna has helped advocate for and define the role of DMT in pediatric medicine. Her practice is grounded in authentic relationships, creativity, flexibility, and culturally responsive care. As a clinician of color, she recognizes the importance of representation and creating therapeutic spaces where clients feel seen, valued, affirmed, and safe.
For Breanna, every client is unique, so success can look like many things—a smile, a moment of silliness, a held hand, or a meaningful moment of emotional processing.
Looking toward the future, she hopes to see Dance/Movement Therapy continue to recognize the deep cultural significance of movement and honor the traditions and practices that have existed long before DMT was formally established. She envisions culturally responsive practice becoming a foundational part of DMT education and a field that embraces diverse perspectives and the many ways movement can foster healing.
