What happens in the first session?

1) we will go over informed consent and the nature of therapy services including privacy & confidentiality

2) we will get to know one another and discuss the music that is meaningful to you

3) we will begin to determine some of your personal wellness goals to work towards in future sessions

How long are sessions?

Sessions are 30 to 60 minutes in length depending on goals and focus. Typically we book a series of 10-12 sessions together and then discuss progress before determining next steps and if their is a continued need for therapy.

Some specific skills therapy can provide are:

Improved emotional regulation skills
Coping mechanisms and stress-management techniques
Improving communication and the ability to speak up for yourself
Understanding your own strengths and inherent value
Finding resources that help manage and perhaps alleviate concerns that originally led you to therapy, such as having panic attacks, or being unable to sleep

“Music is therapy. Music moves people. It connects people in ways that no other medium can. It pulls heart strings. It acts as a medicine." - Macklemore
