Psychiatric Care
for Creatives

Specialized care for music industry professionals 

Therapy and songwriting have a lot in common. In both cases, you're trying to make sense of an emotion that feels stuck, unresolved-- like a chord that's left hanging instead of finding its way home again. There's a palpable tension until the chord resolves, until the emotion is understood and connected back to the whole. 

Therapy is a similar process, but using a different instrument. 

The best songwriters know that for music to resonate with an audience, it needs to come from something deep and true within the songwriter. We all recognize it when we hear it. 

 

It's difficult to access this part of ourselves. It helps to have a guide, a partner in the creative process. That's what a good therapist can offer.

​Just like in songwriting, we don't know what song we'll have at the end of the therapy session. But we'll know it's right when we hear it, when it feels like coming home to yourself.
