About Me
Hi, I’m Supriya Crocker. I’m a Certified Music Therapist (MTA) with over a decade of clinical experience working with children and adults, particularly in the areas of neurodivergence, mental health, and addictions recovery.
With 20+ years of experience teaching voice and piano, I’m also able to offer adaptive music lessons for learners who benefit from extra support—whether due to brain injury, stroke, autism, ADHD, or other learning needs.
My background in both therapy and teaching helps me support clients with a grounded mix of musical skill and creative, therapeutic care-with the goal of integrating growth and/or healing.
Alongside my private practice, I have worked in community organizations, schools, and healthcare settings. I accept funding through AFU (Autism Funding Unit), IKCA (Island Kids Cancer Association), and SelfDesign Learning
I offer In-Person (Victoria, B.C.) and Online Sessions.
My Approach
I believe that at its core, music therapy is about meaningful connection. The relationship I build with each client forms the foundation for growth. Within this supportive space, I draw on evidence-based music therapy methods—such as songwriting, improvisation, and creative play and exploration.
I work with children, teens, and adults. I partner with parents, schools, and healthcare teams to ensure that therapy is coordinated, personalized, and supportive. My approach is trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based, ensuring that music and verbal therapies are used safely, ethically, and purposefully to foster growth, resilience, and well-being. This process is highly attuned to each person’s skills, goals, and desires.
In addition, my training in counselling allows me to integrate verbal approaches, including Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), creating a flexible, combined process that enhances insight, coping, and emotional processing.

When I’m not working as a music therapist or helping organizations tell their clients’ stories—I’m likely spending time with my family, catching up with a friend while walking by the ocean, playing recreational soccer, or cooking something spicy or aromatic.
