Drama Therapy - Conversations with Students & Alumni

Hear from our Drama Therapy alumni as they share their deeply transformative experiences at CIIS, what they loved about the program, and what they are up to now.

It’s a demanding program. It really asks that you to take a hard look at yourself, role you play in groups, how you present yourself, and overall, it’s incredibly rewarding.
- Alice O’Connor, Second Year Student, Drama Therapy

What I found really valuable, among all the experiential and hands-on learning, was that by having an introduction to all the theoretical frameworks - not just in Drama Therapy, but in Creative Arts, Family Therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic - there are so many different frameworks that you get to experience and play with. That, for me as a clinician, was deeply valuable because I was able to find my own voice.
- Jordana de Lory, Alumna, Drama Therapy
