Music Therapy for
MENTAL HEALTH & RECOVERY
Why Music Therapy?
Music therapy offers a compassionate and creative space to support emotional well-being, self-expression, and recovery. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use recovery, music therapy can help foster connection, insight, and resilience through the power of music and the therapeutic relationship.
Our sessions are designed to meet each person where they are — from children learning healthy coping skills to adults seeking emotional balance or support through recovery. Music provides a bridge for communication and self-understanding when words alone may not be enough.
In music therapy, participants can:
Explore and express emotions safely
Develop healthy coping and relaxation skills
Build confidence and self-awareness
Strengthen emotional regulation
Process grief or loss
Reconnect with personal strengths, values, and motivation
Support ongoing recovery and relapse prevention
Manage cravings, triggers, and the emotional ups and downs of recovery

Songwriting and lyric analysis for self-reflection

Active music-making for stress relief and expression
