EngAge
A person-centered, movement, and sensory hybrid approach to healthier aging and dementia support
Natasha Goldstein-Levitas, MA, BC-DMT
Let’s EngAge!
I am a Philadelphia, PA based Board Certified Dance/Movement Therapist specializing in Aging, Dementia, and Care Partner Support. I am also Director of the NEW Creative Arts Therapy Minor Undergraduate Program at University of the Arts. This administrative role includes strategic planning, teaching, advising, and the development of a robust, inclusive new Creative Arts Therapy Minor curriculum.
I have over two decades of clinical experience working primarily with older adults, individuals living with dementia, and their care partners, across various cultures and with diverse backgrounds. I use a person-centered, movement, and sensory hybrid approach, to help connect and EngAge. I fully support the creative arts therapies, collaborative processes, and arts accessibility for all.
My Approach
A deeper human connection.
SenseAble engagement.
Therapeutic movement experiences, creative suggestions for support and empowerment, and therapeutic, evidence-based recommendations to help communities, individuals, and their care partners navigate life changes and move towards wellness.
Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT)
“…the psychotherapeutic use of movement to promote emotional, social, cognitive, and physical integration of the individual, for the purpose of improving health and well-being.”
