Group Therapy

Find joy and connection with your loved one in the present moment.

You used to do everything together, and it’s hard to accept that those days are gone. Remembering holidays, family vacations, and other good times are bittersweet.

There is no denying that the truth is those days were some of the best and are painfully missed. However, that does not eliminate the realization that good days can still lie ahead.

Music therapy offers an opportunity to connect with the beautiful feelings of the past and bring them into the challenges of the present moment to build a future filled with gratitude.

Together, we can celebrate the relationship you hold so dear through reflection and creative expression in the present moment.

Finding validation is not easy.

“Sometimes, I ask myself, why bother?”

“I feel horrible thinking they’re already gone.”

“What’s the point?”

Sometimes, it can be difficult for your efforts to go unnoticed, but acts of kindness are good for you, whether the world knows it.

Music therapy offers ways to support your efforts, foster moments of kindness, connection, creativity, expression, and celebration of the beauty of your relationship, and supportive actions as a caregiver.

Validation isn’t always necessary, but let’s be honest, it sure helps!

Music therapy supports various relationships affected by age-related illnesses.

Parent and Child – Father and daughter can share a moment singing a special song together. It doesn’t matter that you haven’t sung together in years; you’re both doing your best and smiling while singing. You can share why that song is special to both of you and have it celebrated and validated as sacred, allowing you to create positive memories when negativity abounds.

Spouses – It’s beyond challenging to witness the love of your life suffer. Through music and therapeutic support, spouses can share their love through song and therapeutic support. Present-moment singing, improvisation, listening, and processing facilitate moments of connection.

Siblings – Your sibling was your best friend, and now you feel like there is nothing you can do. It’s okay to feel that way, but you can do something. Music therapy offers opportunities to celebrate the special bond of being a sibling. Reflect and celebrate past moments, and create music and art together as mementos of your sacred relationship. Process the past, present, and future with your sibling and with the support of a therapist.

Caregiver and Senior – Now, your dad spends most of his time with a home caregiver. You feel fortunate to have found her because she is kind, patient, and knows how to connect with your father. You want to support that relationship and make sure she doesn’t burn out – because what would you do without her?

Music therapy offers your father’s caregiver the opportunity to see a side of him that she may not otherwise. She can celebrate her hard work and strengthen the relationship through present moment creativity and expression.

We are all mortal kin.

There is no easy way to say it; we face death. Not only our loved ones, but it stirs up our feelings about life and death, too.

Throughout our time together, we can process anticipatory grief and prepare as best as possible to honor the continuing relationship after death. We can process your feelings about your mortality and celebrate life in the present moment.

You are alive now, which is a reason for celebration! The creation of music and art in the present moment provides resources to look upon in the future to know that you were amazingly kind and supportive in the most difficult of times. By knowing this, you can celebrate yourself and your strength as you build a future in which you can heal.

Joy lives within and is always accessible to you.

The present moment offers real opportunities for joy and healing.

You can receive support fostering these moments through music and the therapeutic relationship.

Music brings you closer together, supporting you and the ones you love.
