Kalila B. Homann

I am a licensed professional counselor, dance/movement and expressive arts therapist and supervisor in private practice in Austin, Texas. My work is dedicated to exploring and accessing the body’s intelligences to engage the mind in healing, learning and growth. Curiosity and mutual engagement forms the core of my approach to cultivating personal resiliency and creative intelligence in response to change.

I received my B.A. from Hampshire College, where my studies integrated theories of education, sports physiology, critical research, outdoor leadership and dance. I completed her M.A. in expressive arts therapy at Lesley University in 1988. My certification from the American Dance Therapy Association, BC-DMT, involved advanced studies in movement observation and notation, developmental movement, and group process in dance/movement therapy. Postgraduate training included further training in somatic practices and mindfulness. I have a deep personal and professional commitment to exploring and understanding diversity, cultural complexity, and resilience.

My professional experience includes program development in expressive arts therapy for children and adults in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric treatment facilities, community resource and public school programs. Alongside my clinical practice, I teach and supervise at the graduate and postgraduate level in dance therapy, expressive arts therapy, and counseling.
