Group Music Therapy

In music therapy groups, clients engage in musical activities such as creating, listening, or even writing music to promote goals such as teamwork, group cohesion, and self-expression. In this setting, the focus is on the group as a whole and what everyone can achieve together.

Why Music Therapy?

Most people would say that music is an important part of their life. Not only is it enjoyable, but it also provides a safe space for communication and expression. Music therapy can give you the opportunity to grow and improve your well-being with music.

Over the years, we've used many interventions to help and support our daughter, who suffers from severe depression. Few of our efforts have been more beneficial or had a more lasting impact than having her participate in music therapy. Jared encouraged her songwriting and helped her record some of her original songs. Within a year, our daughter was performing original songs in front of her entire high school and local theater. Making music has given our daughter confidence, helped her connect with peers, and given her a creative outlet for emotions that are sometimes overwhelming. Every time I watch her perform today, I feel like I'm watching her climb a ladder out of the darkness.

Jared has done phenomenal work with every student he has been involved with on my caseload. Not only does he help them process difficult situations, experiences, feelings, and thoughts through music, he is also willing to communicate with me as a clinician on what will help my student best. I have seen him impact student's lives through music in ways I would have never thought possible, and I am so thankful he has been a part of the work I am doing with these kids.

After working with Jared in his music therapy program, my son claimed that Jared was one of his favorite staff members because he listened well, was very knowledgeable in music theory, and helped my son with some stressful situations my son had been experiencing. He taught him more about how to regulate his emotions when he needed to while learning how music could help him to build a better quality of life. Since his experience with Jared, my son has continued to play music and internalize the benefits of music therapy that Jared provided in a professional, caring environment.
