Joan Lavender

Psychologist, Psy.D.

I am a psychologist and psychotherapist with over thirty years experience as a clinician, supervisor, writer and presenter.

My initial training in dance therapy has taught me that nonverbal behavior can be a path inviting us to a deeper exploration in sessions.
