                         Dance/movement Therapy Recognized as Counseling Specialty

  • The National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC) has recognized dance/movement therapy as a specialty of counseling since 1998. The Academy of Dance Therapists Registered (ADTR) advanced credential is recognized by NBCC and ADTA as the appropriate counseling specialty credential in dance/movement therapy. This credential identifies readiness to teach, supervise, and work in private practice for credentialed individuals. Through a special arrangement between ADTA and NBCC, those at the ADTR level who hold a minimum of a master’s degree in a mental health profession are eligible to sit for the NCE (National Counselor Examination), administered by the NBCC. With passing scores on the NCE, one can apply for the NCC (National Certified Counselor) credential from the NBCC. The NCE is also used by many states for counseling licensure. Go to NBCC for more information.
  • ADTA offers the National Counselor Exam each year at the Annual Conference, and ADTA is an NBCC approved provider of continuing education for counselors.
