Cameron Wade, LCAS-A, RDT

Cameron serves an adjunct professor for graduate students in the department of counseling psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies, a trauma and embodiment researcher and experiential psychotherapist based in central North Carolina. Currently she is a PhD candidate at Pacifica Graduate Institute studying Depth Psychology with a focus on Integrative Therapy and Healing Practices, a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate and Registered Drama Therapist (RDT) with the North American Drama Therapy Association. With a background as an educator, performing artist, trainer and creative consultant, she received her clinical training and master’s degree from New York University and has been working with individuals, groups, partnerships, families and organizations across the US and in the UK for over a decade toward their goals for healing, growth and change.

Cameron’s clinical experience includes serving as a creative & expressive arts therapist on inpatient psychiatric units with individuals with severe and and persistent mental illnesses, as a primary therapist in individual and group outpatient treatment with folks recovering from trauma, disordered eating and addiction to substances, as a primary and admissions clinician for one of the nation’s premiere PACT (Program for Assertive Community Treatment) programs, and in private practice. The depth and breadth of her clinical training and experience empowers clients to explore traditional talk therapy methods (with training in Internal Family Systems, Motivational Interviewing, Mentalization, Jungian Somatics and Dreamwork), expressive arts and experiential therapy methods including role play, improvisation, psychodrama, movement, music and visual art making, storytelling, therapeutic writing, therapeutic performance and other creative interventions with opportunities for verbal processing and integration, to help people create, rehearse and enact the changes they want to see in their lives and relationships.
