Rio Music Therapy offers a six-week music therapy program for individuals and small groups that is grounded in a therapeutic relationship and uses the creative process to explore alternative ways of solving problems. Music therapy provides self-expression, emotional support, and increasing awareness of patterns and behaviors that inhibit growth. The goals of therapy are determined together and based on individual needs. Music experiences may involve singing/vocalizing, listening to music, playing an instrument, movement, and songwriting. No musical skill is needed!

A person receiving individual therapy is invited to have a care partner or helper if needed to use technology or offer additional support during the session; the focus will remain on the individual. Small groups will engage in music therapy together throughout the session.

Robin is a Board-certified, master’s prepared music therapist with experience in providing individual and family therapy for a range of abilities and needs, including neurological differences, anxiety, depression, dementia care/caregiver support, grief work, recovery support, and Gestalt therapy in spiritual care.
