CAMILLE DJOKOTO (SHE/THEY)

Camille is a Toronto-based Registered Psychotherapist and Somatic Movement
Specialist providing trauma-informed, socially-conscious therapy. Her practice
is informed by anti-oppressive, anti-racist, queer, and feminist values.
Camille’s approach is relational, experiential, and embodied, inspired by
somatic training, and 39+ years of dance and movement experience. Her practice
integrates Cultural Somatics Institute training (Embodied Gatherings and Somatic
Abolitionism embodied practice groups), Somatic Experiencing®, Laban/Bartenieff
Movement Analysis, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Developmental Somatic
Psychotherapy™, Body-Mind Centering®, Gestalt Psychotherapy, as well as various
Anti-Oppression, Grief, and Crisis Intervention training.

Camille uses an embodied approach to recognize and process signs of stress and
trauma, assisting clients to develop the skills necessary to tune in and listen
deeply to the answers the body holds. Through somatic explorations Camille helps
clients gain insight into behavioural patterns, drawing awareness to how we
embody relationships with various environments, institutions, and oppressive
systems.

Camille is experienced supporting clients dealing with racial oppression,
anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, grief, suicidal ideation, self-harm,
addictions, life transitions, chronic illness with a focus on breast cancer
including physical and neurocognitive disabilities, as well as issues related to
gender identity, sexuality, and cultural identity.

Camille is a member in good standing with the College of Registered
Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), the Canadian Association for Psychodynamic
Therapy (CAPT) and the Canadian Alliance of Dance Artists – Ontario Chapter
(CADA-ON).


AYA

The Aya is a west African Adinkra symbol meaning “Fern”.



This symbol represents perseverance, endurance, and resourcefulness. It
symbolizes defiance against oppression. It is derived from an expression that
when translated means “I am not afraid of you.  I am independent of you”. The
fern is known for its capacity to grow in unusual places, withstanding tough
climates and challenging environments.

Like the Aya, the human spirit holds the capacity to overcome adversity, to grow
and even thrive despite the many challenging conditions it encounters. With
support and collective healing we can learn to embody our resilience and harness
our inner strength.
