music therapy
What is music therapy?
Music therapy is a type of therapy that uses music in some form to help you reach your goals. The way in which we bring music into your sessions is completely up to you - and there is no musical background required.
Maybe you've been feeling like you could use another medium of expression alongside traditional talk therapy to help. This is where music comes in. Whether it's gaining another perspective, tool, or coping strategy, music can be one way of contributing to your healing.
In a session, music therapy may look like incorporating any of the following:
- music listening
- playlist building
- lyric analysis
- music making
- songwriting
- music relaxation
- and much more.

How we can help
We always use a client-centred framework in order to meet each person where they are. There is no pressure to incorporate music into your sessions, but it's an option if you feel it may be helpful in reaching your goals. Some evidence-based ways that music therapy can help include:
- increasing emotional regulation skills through music exploration
- providing another medium for emotional expression
- exploring identity through relevant music and lyrics
- developing stress management tools
- enhancing coping strategies through music relaxation
