Modern Music Therapy…
Diving Deeper

with Alice Dote, LCSW

You already know you love music, have experienced its deep healing potential, and want to make the most of your time and energy by working with a therapist over a sustained period of time. Protecting this extended time allows us to build trust and safety with more ease, knowing the expansiveness of the relationship container has also expanded. Larger time containers allow room for more safety, freedom, and potential for self-growth.

This type of focused work allows you to see the whole picture of any issue or state with more clarity, depth, and perspective.

Let’s go deeper.
