Hi, I’m Supriya Crocker.
I'm a Registered Clinical Counsellor and Certified Music Therapist with many years of experience supporting children, teens, and adults…whether that's through words, music, or both.
My childhood was immersed in classical piano, performing in festivals, before I found my way into gospel, soul, and funk bands. I spent many years teaching piano and voice, watching kids and adults build confidence and express themselves long before I had any clinical training.
The connection I saw between music and health led me to pursue an education and career in music therapy. I spent over a decade working with neurodivergent kids and adults, autism, ADHD, and other developmental differences, alongside people in neuro-rehabilitation and adults processing trauma, addiction, and major life transitions.
After my Master's, I trained further in clinical counselling, adding tools for deeper verbal processing and insight, helping clients understand patterns in their thoughts, relationships, and behaviours, exploring what's happening beneath the surface, mostly, though not always, through conversation.
I love working across the full range, sometimes staying with traditional talk therapy from start to finish, sometimes blending in creative work alongside conversation, and sometimes letting the music and creative process lead the entire session.
I offer in-person sessions in Victoria, B.C., and online sessions.

Outside the Studio
Beyond private practice: I work as a counsellor with my local health authority in mental health and substance use recovery, and as the lead music therapist in a neurological rehabilitation pilot project. This keeps me working across many different needs and ages, which shapes how I show up in private practice too. It's varied, challenging work, and it keeps me growing as a clinician.
Beyond the work: Outside the therapy room, I'm usually outdoors with my family, exploring new trails, new cities, or new recipes, we love trying different cuisines together. When not in the midst of family life, I enjoy playing recreational soccer or a good cup of tea with a friend.
