Meet Gloria Sutter

Gloria Sutter, Life Care Advocates’ Art & Music Therapist, brings a wealth of talent and compassion to her work. A trained musician and singer with an extensive background in art education, Gloria has also authored and illustrated a children’s picture book. Her passion for the arts, combined with her empathetic nature, enables her to connect deeply with clients, inspiring them to explore their creativity and express their emotions.

Art Therapy - Expressing Inner Worlds Through Art

Creative Exploration

Art Therapy provides clients with the opportunity to express themselves through various artistic mediums. Gloria encourages exploration in painting, drawing, and clay molding, allowing clients to discover their inner creativity and find comfort in artistic expression.

Stress Reduction

Engaging in art has a calming effect, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. Art Therapy sessions provide a tranquil environment where clients can relax and focus on creating, leading to enhanced emotional well-being.

Emotional Healing

Creating art helps clients process and express complex emotions. This therapeutic practice supports individuals in coping with grief, trauma, and other challenging feelings through a visual and tactile medium.

Boosted Self-Esteem

Clients gain a sense of accomplishment and pride in their artistic creations. Gloria’s supportive guidance helps them build confidence and self-esteem, reinforcing their sense of identity and value.

Music Therapy - Healing Through Melody and Harmony

Personalized Musical Engagement

Gloria designs each Music Therapy session to reflect the individual’s musical preferences and therapeutic goals. Clients engage in a range of activities, including singing, playing instruments, and listening to their favorite tunes, creating a personalized and uplifting experience.

Emotional Connection

Music serves as a bridge to emotions, allowing clients to express feelings that might be challenging to verbalize. Whether through singing along to familiar songs or playing instruments, clients find a safe and supportive space to explore their emotions.

Cognitive and Physical Benefits

Music Therapy can enhance cognitive function and support physical rehabilitation. Activities are structured to improve memory, attention, and coordination, helping clients maintain and enhance their abilities.

Social Interaction

In group settings, Music Therapy fosters a sense of community and connection. Clients participate in shared musical experiences, which strengthen social bonds and reduce feelings of isolation.
