Music therapy can be a game changer for teens who are struggling with their mental health.

Therapy for TWEENS AND TEENS

How Your CHILD BENEFITS:

HOW TO WORK WITH US

SELF EXPRESSION:

Teens will have a private & confidential safe space where they can express themselves and their emotions.

COPING SKILLS:

Teens will learn techniques for how to use music to cope with symptoms, stress, anxiety, and emotions.

FEEL BETTER:

Teens often experience relief from symptoms as music can increase dopamine and serotonin.

SELF CARE:

Teens can enjoy music and relaxation experiences that activate the parasympathetic nervous system and help them to relax and practice self care.

MAKE PROGRESS:

When brought alongside traditional counseling and psychiatry, music therapy can help your teen to make faster progress toward their mental health goals.
