DTNZ ACC Sensitive Claims Service provider overview

We provide our clients with a unique blend of talk therapy alongside the innovative practices of dance movement therapy and arts therapy. In the past year there has been a 62 percent increase in the number of sessions DTNZ has provided to clients who have experienced sexual trauma. As this therapy is a more individualised process and because there is a level of sensitivity and expertise required to deliver it, we are wanting new providers to join us.

If you’re a registered psychologist, counsellor, or social worker, or creative arts therapist with ANZACATA membership and want to explore innovative approaches to therapy, please contact us as we’d love to discuss how we can work together.

Please email acc@dancetherapy.co.nz if you’d like to apply or if you have any questions not answered in the FAQs below.
