Hi, I'm Sam Christie,
I'm a board-certified music therapist. There's no doubt we're all living through one of the most stressful times in history. I'm here to help you process anything you're facing mentally or emotionally, through music therapy sessions. If you're unfamiliar with music therapy, get acquainted below, and reach out with any questions. Together, we can create a plan to address your individual mental health and wellness needs. Schedule your FREE 15m phone consult now to get started and see how mental health support through in-person or virtual music therapy sessions can work for you.
Take care,
Sam
CREATE means...
Creativity
Creativity is part of what makes us human, and it can make life infinitely more interesting. Some folks see it as an innate "talent", but I see it as a skill you can develop and use when you need it. Or, use it just for fun.
Recording
There's power and ownership in writing a song, making a beat, and capturing it in a recording. We can tell your story through recorded music or explore how to manipulate or recreate your favorite songs in a DAW like Ableton, Garageband, or SoundTrap.
Emotion
Music can help us contain, define, or explore our emotions through songwriting, singing/playing, listening, and more. Our emotions aren't separate from our experience, they are a part of it. And we can explore and get to know them through music.
Artistic Therapeutic Experiences
Art and beauty are human needs. In sessions with me, creating something, anything, is "enough". Creativity and art for their own sake is "enough", and even if you have defined clinical goals, you can still appreciate the beauty in an artistic therapeutic experience for its own sake.
