Music Therapy Services

Music therapy is a discipline in which Certified Music Therapists (MTAs) use music purposefully within therapeutic relationships to support development, health, and well-being. Music therapists use music safely and ethically to address human needs within cognitive, communicative, emotional, musical, physical, social, and spiritual domains (Canadian Association of Music Therapists, 2020).

Music therapy can be facilitated by way of private or group sessions. Music therapy services are offered virtually or in-person. With the music therapist, you can collaborate on which style or dynamic might be best suited for you.

No. In music therapy, the main focus of a session is engagement. Clients do not need to know how to play an instrument or read music to participate. We all have a musical child within us and VMT will allow you to connect with and enjoy this part of yourself. In the music therapy space, you will have opportunity to explore in an environment free of judgement. 

Music connects us. It's an accessible avenue for communication, beyond language. Music is fun, creative and engaging as you get to explore sounds, instruments, voice and rhythm. Music can bring about powerful change in an individual, as we are wired to sync with rhythm and motivated to participate when we hear it. It can unlock words, behaviours or feelings that may have not been accessible prior. It can also support or maintain health and wellbeing. Music is a versatile tool which makes it an incredibly effective tool for therapy.
