How Depression
Effects Us.
Depression can dull emotional responses, making it harder to feel joy, connection, or motivation. Teens and adults often describe feeling stuck, numb, or overwhelmed.
Music can gently access feelings and memories, helping people reconnect with themselves and others.
Benefits of Music Therapy for Depression
Music therapy can provide powerful support for individuals experiencing depression, offering a non-verbal and emotionally resonant way to process, express, and shift mood states. Some key benefits include:
-
Mood Regulation: Engaging in structured musical activities can help stabilize emotional states and reduce symptoms of sadness and anxiety.
-
Emotional Expression: Music offers a safe space for expressing emotions that may be hard to articulate with words.
-
Motivation and Engagement: Depression can make it hard to feel motivated—music can reawaken interest and participation in daily life.
-
Sense of Connection: Music often facilitates a sense of connection—to the therapist, to self, or to memories—which can ease feelings of isolation.
-
Mindfulness and Relaxation: Listening to or creating music can support grounding, regulation, and a sense of calm.
Our music therapists tailor each session to the individual, whether through guided listening, songwriting, improvisation, or active music-making, meeting you where you are and helping you move toward emotional wellness.
