Music Therapy
Music has the power to move us, ground us, and heal us. Music therapy uses sound, rhythm, and creative expression to support emotional well-being, reduce stress, and encourage deep inner connection. Whether you’re working through trauma, anxiety, grief, or simply seeking calm, music offers a path inward.
About the sessions
Music therapy is a gentle, evidence-based practice that uses guided sound experiences to support mental, emotional, and even physical healing. At Backcountry Wellness Center, our approach is personalized and intuitive. You don’t need any musical experience to benefit — just an open heart and a willingness to explore.
Sessions may include vocal toning, sound meditation, lyric exploration, breathwork with music, or improvisational instruments like drums, chimes, or bowls. The goal is not performance but connection — to yourself, your emotions, and your breath.
Your visit
Each session begins with a short check-in to understand your emotional state, goals, and preferences. From there, your therapist will create a supportive soundscape or guide you through creative processes that help unlock, express, and shift energy.
Here’s what a typical session may include:
- Gentle intake to explore how you’re feeling and what you need
- Live or recorded music experiences designed to calm the nervous system
- Opportunities to play or create music if you choose
- Guided vocal exercises, lyric work, or sound meditations
- Space for reflection, journaling, or grounding at the end of the session
Music therapy can be beneficial for anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, creative blocks, grief, or general emotional overwhelm. You are always in control of how deep you go and how involved you’d like to be.
