Professional statement

Jennifer Giuglianotti, MS, BC-DMT, LCAT works with adults and children (ages 7+) who feel overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally stuck, or disconnected, often after trying traditional therapy without the depth of change they were hoping for. Many of her adult clients are high-functioning and capable on the outside, yet carry chronic stress, trauma, or nervous-system patterns that impact relationships, focus, or emotional well-being. Children and adolescents often seek her support for anxiety, emotional regulation, sensory sensitivity, or difficulty expressing feelings verbally.

Her work is somatic, experiential, and trauma-informed. Rather than focusing on insight alone, Jennifer helps clients understand and shift patterns held in the body and nervous system through body-based awareness, creative processes, and attuned therapeutic presence. Sessions may include movement, grounding practices, imagery, or expressive arts, always guided by safety, collaboration, and the client’s pace. This approach is especially well-suited for clients who feel they “understand” their challenges but still feel stuck.

Jennifer is a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board-Certified Dance/Movement Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience. She has served as a Clinical Director and has worked across outpatient, community, and private practice settings. Her background in somatic trauma therapy, attachment-based care, and expressive arts allows her to tailor therapy to each client’s unique nervous system and developmental needs.

Jennifer is the founder and Clinical Director of Balanced Life Movement, a Creative Arts Therapy group practice serving clients across New York via secure telehealth, with limited in-person availability in Westbrookville and Sullivan County. She offers private-pay services, provides superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, and intentionally maintains a smaller caseload to support depth, continuity, and high-quality care.


Message to clients

If you’re considering therapy because you feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck—even after doing therapy before—my hope is to offer a space where you don’t have to push, perform, or explain everything with words. We’ll work together to understand what your nervous system has learned and how to create shifts that feel meaningful and sustainable in your daily life.

My work tends to be a good fit for clients who are open to an experiential approach and curious about how emotional patterns live in the body, not just the mind. Sessions are collaborative, grounded, and paced with care, with regular check-ins to ensure the work feels aligned and supportive.

I offer virtual therapy throughout New York and limited in-person sessions upstate. If this approach resonates with you, I invite you to reach out to explore whether working together feels like a good fit.
