About me

I am Mariana del Rio (she/her), I grew up in Mexico, I come from French- Spanish third generation background, cisgender, pansexual woman. I am trilingual and part of  the dramatherapy and the circus community in Montreal.  I had training in classical ballet, a bachelor degree in Psychology and a master in Dramatherapy. The above has allowed me to gain the sensitivity to understand the body and how the world affects every one of us. Movement has been one of my motivations to understand the mind and its connection with the body. My therapeutic approach has been definitely impacted by dance and authentic expression.  I believe arts should be available for everyone, and specially as a way to convey, understand and process the world.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
Art therapyRecommended for those who feel more comfortable expressing emotions through creativity and want to explore their feelings through art rather than talking.
Psychotherapy Recommended for those who want to work through emotional or mental health challenges by talking with a trained psychotherapist.

Dramatherapy is a deliberate and structured utilization of theatrical processes to foster psychological development and transformation. It's centered around the client, emphasizing ethical and personal values. Drawing from theatrical techniques and grounded in psychotherapy, dramatherapy offers an alternative therapeutic approach suitable for anyone seeking a departure from traditional or verbal therapy methods. While drama therapy is one mean we use in therapy, I am open to hear my clients needs in terms of expression. I would happy to accompany you in your process!
