Cristin O'Brien, LMHC, MT-BC
Mental Health Counselor

Cristin received her Bachelor of Arts in Music Therapy and served for four years as a home-based music therapist working with individuals of all ages with developmental disabilities. During this time, Cristin developed a heart and compassion for at-risk youth and decided to pursue her Master of Arts in Counseling. She focused her studies on working with teens and families and those who have experienced traumatic events. In addition to working as a music therapist, she gained some experience working with families involved with juvenile probation and child protective services in Indiana. After completing her master’s, Cristin went on to counsel teens and families in crisis at a therapeutic boarding school, where she gained a lot of experience in working with both individual family members and the families as a whole to help facilitate growth. In addition to direct work with families, Cristin gained experience in helping to develop the counseling program by creating and implementing group therapy, and revising clinical policies. In her most recent experience, Cristin served as a music therapist at Florida State Hospital where she facilitated both individual and group music therapy sessions for individuals with PTSD as well as severe and persistent mental illness such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.

Having a background in both music therapy and counseling, Cristin is passionate about using a creative and integrative approach rooted in evidenced-based practices to address clients’ needs.
