Individual and group music therapy sessions are available for individuals of all ages, including kids, teens, and adults.

Music therapy services are available in both our Roswell and Tucker office locations. Reach out today to learn more about how music therapy can become a part of your therapeutic journey.

What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music-based interventions to address clinical and therapeutic goals. Music therapists are trained to use music as a tool in emotional processing, coping, and overall healing. Music can produce strong effects on our emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, which is why it can be such a powerful tool in therapy! Through the intentional use of music, therapy can become a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your inner world, process your experiences, and express yourself in ways that words alone cannot capture.

Who Can Benefit from Music Therapy?

Music is universal and reaches individuals of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, or simple seeking personal growth, music therapy can provide a unique avenue for self-expression and healing. It is especially beneficial for those who may find it challenging to express their emotions verbally or feel stuck in their therapeutic journey.

Music therapists are skilled in adapting music-based intervention to suit the age and developmental level of each client. Therapy centered in music creates a safe, comfortable environment for individuals to explore their emotions and experiences.

Music Therapy for Adults

Whether you are seeking support for mental health concerns, stress management, personal growth, or self-exploration, music therapy offers a safe and creative outlet for expression. Our music therapist will collaborate with you to develop personalized interventions that address your specific goals and challenges. Through music, you can tap into your emotions, enhance self-awareness, and embark on a transformative journey towards healing and self-discovery.

Music Therapy for Teens

Adolescence can be a challenging and transformative time. Music therapy provides a supportive space where teens can express their emotions, navigate identity issues, and develop healthy coping strategies. Our music therapist incorporates a wide range of music-based interventions, such as songwriting, improvisation, and music listening, to engage teens in the therapeutic process. Through music therapy, teens can gain valuable insights, build self-esteem, and foster positive self-expression.

Music Therapy for Kids

Music has a natural appeal to children, making music therapy an engaging and effective approach for kids of all abilities. Through music and play therapy, our therapists create a nurturing environment where children can develop communication skills, regulate their emotions, and improve social interaction. Music therapy can support children with developmental delays, behavioral challenges, and emotional difficulties. It also offers a joyful and creative outlet for self-expression, allowing kids to build confidence and explore their unique identities.

Incorporating Music Therapy with Other Therapies

At Perspectives Center for Holistic Therapy, we believe in a holistic approach to therapy, recognizing that every individual is unique and requires personalized care. We understand that different therapeutic modalities can complement and enhance each other, which is why we offer integrative services that combine music therapy with other evidence-based therapies such as talk therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and body-centered techniques.

Our skilled therapists will work collaboratively with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that integrates various modalities to meet your specific needs and goals. By incorporating music therapy alongside other therapeutic approaches, we can create a comprehensive and multifaceted treatment experience that addresses your emotional, psychological, and physical well-being.

What to Expect in a Music Therapy Session

Curious about what a music therapy session at Perspectives Center for Holistic Therapy entails? Here's a glimpse into what you can expect during your music therapy journey:

Warm Welcome and Assessment: Your first music therapy session will begin with a warm welcome from our experienced music therapist. They will take the time to get to know you, understand your goals, and assess your needs. This initial assessment helps us tailor the therapy experience to your unique circumstances, ensuring that your sessions are personalized and effective.
Creating a Safe and Supportive Environment: Our music therapists are dedicated to providing a safe and non-judgmental space where you can freely express yourself. Through empathy, active listening, and genuine care, they establish a trusting therapeutic relationship that fosters growth and healing. You can expect a warm and welcoming environment where you feel comfortable exploring your emotions and experiences.
Engaging in Music-Making: Music therapy sessions involve active participation in music-making activities tailored to your specific needs and preferences. These activities may include playing instruments, singing, songwriting, improvisation, or guided music listening. No musical experience or skills are required. The focus is on the therapeutic process and self-expression, rather than musical proficiency.
Exploring Emotions and Experiences: Music has a unique way of accessing and expressing emotions. In music therapy, you will have the opportunity to explore and process your emotions through musical experiences. Your music therapist will guide you in using music as a tool for self-reflection, helping you gain insights, release emotions, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself.
Setting Goals and Tracking Progress: Together with your music therapist, you will set specific goals that you would like to work towards throughout your therapy journey. These goals can range from improving emotional regulation to enhancing communication skills or increasing self-confidence. Your progress will be regularly assessed, and adjustments to your treatment plan will be made as needed to ensure you are on the path to achieving your therapeutic goals.
Integration with Other Therapeutic Approaches: Depending on your needs, music therapy may be integrated with other therapeutic modalities to create a comprehensive treatment approach. Your music therapist may collaborate with other professionals, such as talk therapists or body-centered therapists, to provide you with a holistic and integrated healing experience.
Supportive Guidance and Reflection: Throughout your music therapy sessions, your therapist will provide supportive guidance, encouraging you to explore and reflect on your experiences. They will help you make connections between the music and your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This process of self-reflection and insight can lead to personal growth, increased self-awareness, and positive changes in your life.

Music Therapy Groups

Music has always had exceptional power in bringing people together. Music therapy groups are an ideal method for individuals to explore their mental health journey with the community of others. Music therapy groups will incorporate group music-based interventions, providing space for individuals to creatively express their own experiences, and to receive the experiences of others. Music therapy groups may involve playing instruments, singing, songwriting and composition, lyric analysis, and other music-based techniques. Music skills are never required to participate in music therapy services.

Adaptive Therapeutic Music Lessons

Are you or your child interested in learning an instrument, but would benefit from a therapeutic component? Our music therapist offer adaptive therapeutic music lessons for clients of all ages and abilities! Adaptive therapeutic music lessons provide the same opportunities for an individual to learn and become proficient in playing an instrument, while also incorporating exploration and expression of emotions.

Adaptive therapeutic music lessons are currently available for the following instruments: guitar, ukulele, piano, voice.

Sound Healing

Our music therapist is a certified therapeutic sound practitioner and offers sound bath meditations in addition to music therapy services!

We as living beings are made up of energy and vibration, so when we provide our nervous system the opportunity to bathe in soothing sound, we allow our body the chance to rest and reset. Sound baths are ideal for meditation and restoration. Sound baths are available for individuals and groups, and can be offered at your location!
