Nadine Bernard, MA, MFA, BCC, P-RDT, is a dedicated drama therapist specializing in helping children overcome anxiety related to school, friendships, and challenging life situations such as divorce. Through innovative drama and arts therapy, Nadine enables kids to express their feelings and experiences in ways that resonate with their natural modes of communication—storytelling and imaginary play. By acting out characters, inventing narratives, and sharing their favorite films or shows, children engage in a therapeutic process that fosters healing from anxiety and depression. With two decades of experience in theater and psychology, including four years focused on drama therapy techniques, Nadine quickly connects with children to understand and address the core of their challenges. She recognizes that kids often struggle to articulate their hurt or nervousness, and through creative arts therapy exercises, she gains insight into their perspectives and the roles they wish to embody. Nadine empowers children to discover their inner resilience, enabling them to play happier, more confident roles. Her renowned workshops have been conducted at various esteemed institutions, including the Montclair Cooperative School, Cornerstone Montclair, Montclair Baby, and Common Ground Family Camp. Currently, she is collaborating with Luna Stage to bring the Luna Fantasy Factory Camp to life.
