Music therapy is a professional, evidence-based practice that uses music to support emotional, social, cognitive, and physical well-being. In a music therapy session, a trained therapist engages clients in making or listening to music in ways that are tailored to their individual needs and goals.

Through activities like singing, playing instruments, songwriting, and movement to music, clients can:

-Improve communication and social skills

-Build confidence and self-expression

-Enhance emotional regulation and coping strategies

-Support cognitive and motor development

Music therapy is for people of all ages and abilities. It’s not just about music, it’s about using music as a tool for meaningful growth, connection, and joy.
