sound space collective
sound space collective is a music therapy and music-based psychotherapy practice offering depth-oriented, clinically grounded support for adults navigating stress, trauma, medical experiences, and major life transitions. The work is relational, intentional, and designed to support meaningful psychological change.
About Dean Quick, MT-BC, FAMI
I’m Dean Quick, a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) and Fellow of the Association for Music & Imagery (FAMI). My work integrates clinical music therapy, music-based psychotherapy, and the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery & Music (GIM). I have extensive experience working in mental health, medical, and oncology settings supporting individuals through complex emotional and life transitions.
My clinical background includes working with people facing serious illness, recovery, and uncertainty. This has shaped an approach that is both emotionally attuned and grounded in real-world application. I value work that is structured, thoughtful, and responsive to the whole person, not just symptoms.
sound space collective exists because:
You deserve unhurried sessions where the pace matches the work.
Music can be used in a way that is both emotionally safe and genuinely transformative.
Therapy should give you something you can carry into real life, not just insight, but tools, practices, and new options.
There is a need for therapy that can hold spirituality, meaning, and inner experience in a grounded, ethical way.
Telehealth can be deeply effective when it is designed well and delivered with presence.
Our approach
I work with people who want more than symptom management. Sessions are collaborative and paced, using music intentionally to support emotional regulation, insight, and integration. For some, this includes talk-based processing. For others, especially in Guided Imagery & Music, the work engages imagery and felt experience directly, which can allow material to emerge and resolve more efficiently than conversation alone.
Rather than circling the same material cognitively, music-centered work often helps people access and integrate experience more quickly and with greater clarity.
Is this a good fit?
This work may be a good fit if you:
want depth-oriented therapy, not quick fixes
are open to using music as part of the therapeutic process
value reflection, integration, and meaningful change
sound space collective may not be the best fit for those seeking highly directive or strictly skills-based treatment.
If you’re curious about working together, a brief consultation can help clarify fit and determine the most appropriate offering.
