A different kind of adhd therapy in Nashville, Tn.
Where music leads the way to regulation, self-esteem, and belonging.
A free, supportive call to explore next steps.
Your days are full — managing energy, big feelings, transitions, and mental load.
You’ve tried charts and routines, but nothing has really stuck.
You’re noticing a need for support with regulation, focus, confidence, and emotional expression — not just “behavior.”
Music has always made you (or your child) light up and you’re wondering if that could lead to real growth.
What you really want is support that works with ADHD — not against it.
Music therapy at Empower feels different — because you feel different here.
Sessions are joyful, expressive, and meaningful—while still grounded in evidence-based clinical care. Music therapy can support:
-
Through mindful movement, songwriting, personalized playlists, and more clients practice calming strategies and emotional expression in ways that feel engaging and creative.
-
Music naturally supports attention, sequencing, and follow-through. In sessions, we help translate these skills into daily life, supporting focus, task initiation, organization, and cognitive flexibility over time.
-
Musical cues create natural opportunities to practice pausing, waiting, and choosing responses. People of all ages with ADHD explore music in session to build self-awareness and regulation in ways that feel relational and light.
-
Music therapy is built around strengths and creativity, setting clients with ADHD up for success from the start. These meaningful “wins” naturally support confidence and a strong sense of capability.
-
Music invites shared attention, collaboration, and connection. Sessions are tailored to each client’s age and interests, supporting relationships in ways that feel organic and motivating.
-
Music therapy offers a creative outlet those of us with busy minds. Clients practice coping skills that support emotional regulation, stress relief, and self-expression—tools that can be carried into daily life at home, school, or work.
If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, we’d love to talk.
Sessions are offered in our clinic or virtually and are always tailored to the client.
What does a session look like?
It depends on age, musical preferences, interests, and support needs.
For younger children, sessions often include a visual schedule, movement, singing, and playful social connection.
For adolescents and adults, sessions may focus on songwriting, lyric discussion, and coping strategies.
Sessions are adaptable and guided by each client’s sensory profile and special interests.
Our Approach
-
We view neurological differences as a natural part of human diversity, not something to be fixed. Our work prioritizes regulation, autonomy, and quality of life without asking people to mask or change who they are.
-
We recognize that past experiences can shape how someone feels, responds, and engages in therapy. Our approach emphasizes safety, choice, predictability, and pacing that supports trust and nervous system regulation.
-
Each session is shaped around the client’s goals, strengths, and comfort level. We collaborate closely with clients and families and adapt as needs change, rather than following a rigid model.
-
We believe healing happens in relationship. Our work supports not only individuals, but also families, caregivers, and communities, helping people feel connected and supported beyond the therapy room.
