OUR SERVICES

  • A white-walled office with green accented paint, brown leather furniture, plants, and a drum and guitar hanging on the wall.

    Music Therapy

    Our team of music therapists provide individual and group music therapy sessions in Dover, NH and at partner locations throughout the Seacoast. We empower children, teens, and adults to build a strong sense of self-worth, and belonging. We support personal growth and development, enhance wellness, and inspire creative self-expression.


  • Mental Health Counseling for Children

    Our Mental Health Counselors seamlessly integrate the creative arts into their sessions. That means, in addition to what we offer as Music Therapists, our Mental Health Counselors can also diagnose and treat mental illnesses, administer psychological assessments, screen for suicidality, and offer psychoeducation on psychological disorders and concepts to clients and families.
