What is Music Therapy?

Music therapy uses the power of music to help you heal, grow, and move through life’s challenges.

Many of us know the power of music to stir emotions, spark memories, or shift our mood in an instant. In therapy, music can do more than lift your mood—it can help you heal, grow, and connect. Creativity becomes a pathway to expression, well-being, and meaningful change. 

Connection at the heart of the process. Staying attuned to the unique needs of each client, I weave therapeutic songwriting, musical improvisation with psychoanalytic exploration, and meditative piano techniques into sessions.

These creative approaches are integrated with verbal therapy, giving you space to express yourself in both music and words. Through this process, you’ll have the opportunity to explore your inner world, strengthen resilience, and uncover new ways of relating to yourself and others.

How I can support you

Being a musician
isn’t required.

Embracing creative growth is.

“Music can lift us out of depression or move us to tears – it is a remedy, a tonic, orange juice for the ear. But for many of my neurological patients, music is even more – it can provide access, even when no medication can, to movement, to speech, to life. For them, music is not a luxury, but a necessity.”

― Oliver Sacks

  • “Supriya strikes the magical balance of being a creative musician and a responsive therapist.  She created safety, allowing me to connect with my emotions and inner world, while skillfully encouraging vocal and musical play.  

    As an interdisciplinary artist I worked with Supriya to explore vocal work and set music and vocals to my poetry.  I was amazed at how generative and healing these sessions were. She has a huge repertoire of tools to draw from: music therapy, playing multiple instruments, vocal work, electronic mixing, guiding meditations. I  gained confidence in my ability to sing, to transform ideas into musical form and to give myself permission to experiment. Supriya is a masterful musician and therapist.”

  • “Supriya collaborates well with facility staff members and uses musical interventions directly related to reaching the client’s goals.

    Her thought processes are very creative. Supriya demonstrates a strong sense of interpersonal skills in her music therapy work with clients.”

  • “My daughter, who is autistic, has hearing loss, ADHD, and cerebral palsy, has been doing music therapy with Supriya for several years. Supriya has been able to leverage my daughter’s strengths and her love of music to develop her self-expression and work on areas needing support in a fun, trusting and joyful manner. More recently, Supriya and I decided the time might be right to introduce adaptive piano lessons into their sessions.

    Supriya’s enthusiasm, her deep understanding of my daughter’s strengths and limits, and their mutual trust and respect has enabled my daughter to persist with learning an instrument and even perform – building so much confidence and pride along the way! I am very grateful for the impact music therapy with Supriya has had for my child and our family.”
