Why Music Therapy Works
Music therapy engages us holistically, connecting emotions, memories, and physical responses. Utilizing music as a non-verbal communication tool, it's accessible to those struggling with verbal expression. Stimulating neural pathways, it nurtures deeper emotional states often untouched by traditional talk therapy. Sessions are versatile, personalized to individual needs.
Pairing Music Therapy with Other Therapies
Music therapy can stand alone or complement traditional therapies such as speech, occupational, play, ABA, or talk therapy.
Cost Concerns
At Empower, we prioritize accessibility. Families with children with disabilities under 18yrs old can often use the Katie Beckett waiver for session cost reimbursements. We offer sliding scale fees and a scholarship fund for financial support, ensuring quality therapy for all, no matter the financial situation.
What Our Clients Have to Say
I take my child to Empower for music therapy with Maria. She is kind, patient, and understanding, and I appreciate how sensitive Maria is. Whether its activities focused on exploration, body awareness, or choice-making, it seems to be very beneficial for my child. Thank you, Maria! Rebekah, Client Parent
I can’t say enough about Kate as a therapist and as a person! She has been so meaningful to my daughter and our family in the 2 years she’s been seeing her. She has an excellent way of communicating and showing my daughter how to use music as a way to explore and better be in touch with herself. She is such an excellent roll model for my young teen. I highly recommend music therapy for ALL adolescents!

My son attended an event hosted by Empower Music Therapy and we had so much fun! The Empower team knows how to create a community through music. Everyone, both kids and adults, had instruments in their hands and smiles on their faces.

Anna Laura and Kate are amazing at what they do!
Music Therapy is a vital tool for treating those who suffer from severe trauma. I’m so grateful to Empower Music Therapy for being on this journey of healing and hope. It is critical for young people who may not have the words but have big feelings, to learn to express themselves in a meaningful and healthy manner. I am and will be forever grateful. -Yvette, Client Parent
Ms. Anna Laura has been a delightful addition to our therapy routine! Our daughter is 7, with profound disabilities and a strong love for music. We have been doing family sessions, to increase play time between our kids. Both kids are beaming with happiness in almost every session. We’re so thankful to have found empower music therapy!
