What could an Individual Music Psychotherapy Session for Teens Look Like?
In our music psychotherapy sessions at CreativePsych, teenagers often find a harmonious blend of talk therapy and musical exploration. Recognizing that some teens might connect more readily with creative expression than traditional conversation, sessions could involve activities like songwriting or diving deep into the emotions evoked by specific tracks. No musical background is needed; we aim to offer a platform where adolescents can freely express and navigate their emotions in a supportive environment.
At CreativePsych, our art psychotherapy sessions provide teens an avenue to blend talk therapy with the immersive world of artistic expression. Given that many adolescents resonate with visual and tactile expression, they might find solace in activities like art journaling or sketching their feelings. No prior artistic experience is required; we focus on cultivating a space where teens can explore and articulate their emotions in ways that feel most authentic to them.
