Music Therapy

Individual Music Therapy Sessions

Individual music therapy sessions are provided by Cara Wojciechowski, MA, MT-BC. Cara has experience as a music therapist in inpatient and outpatient medical settings, school settings, and outpatient mental health settings. She works with individuals of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds. Her specialties include mental health, integrative approaches to pain and symptom management, and birthing support. She is also a certified full-spectrum doula, and combines these specialties to provide music therapy-assisted childbirth and birthing support interventions.

Every session is tailored to clients’ individual needs, and may include interventions such as improvisation, guided meditation, songwriting, playlist creation, music and movement, lyric discussion, and more. Cara’s practice is trauma-informed and strengths-based, and employs a variety of techniques including music-based interventions, verbal psychotherapy/counseling techniques, and mindfulness-based strategies. 

Because music is a powerful medium, unique outcomes can be possible. There are aspects of our human experience that are difficult to reach with words, and music therapy can provide a valuable tool to gaining insights, developing coping strategies, and connecting with our mind, body, and spirit in a new way. 

Clients do not need to have any prior music experience or talents to engage in and benefit from this style of therapy.
