Research in music therapy supports its effectiveness in many areas such as:
- Greater awareness of subconscious thoughts, feelings, motivations
- Emotional processing of grief and trauma
- Wellness, including managing stress, anxiety, depression
Music Therapy interventions include
improvisation, lyric analysis, songwriting, and receptive listening. This modality is especially powerful with paired with other expressive art therapies, including art and dance / movement.

Sound Therapy
The therapeutic application of sound comes in many forms. The external generation of sound - tuning forks, singing bowls, drums; the internal generation of sound - humming, toning, vocalization, singing.
As with music therapy, this can be integrated with mental health counseling sessions to support your goals.
