YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO START
You bring your
experience.
We find the way in.
Sometimes understanding what you’re experiencing isn't the same as feeling able to move through it.
Music can offer another way to explore emotions, memories, patterns, and questions that may be difficult to access through conversation alone.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to your needs. You don’t need musical experience, and you won’t be asked to perform.
We’ll work together to determine which approach makes sense for you.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
A space that's
yours to explore.
Two complementary approaches that use music and the therapeutic relationship to support emotional exploration, reflection, and change.
Music as a way
into conversation.
Music therapy uses intentional music experiences within a therapeutic relationship to support emotional health, coping, and self-understanding.
Depending on your needs, sessions might include guided listening, songwriting, lyric exploration, creative expression, or conversation.
We can use what emerges through music to better understand your experiences and develop strategies that carry into everyday life.
Often explored:
Stress, anxiety, emotional regulation, grief,
life transitions, communication, and coping.
Listening beyond
the familiar.
The Bonny Method of Guided Imagery & Music is an experiential form of music psychotherapy.
With a trained guide, you listen to carefully selected music while exploring the imagery, emotions, memories, and sensations that emerge.
The experience is followed by reflection and integration, making connections between what unfolds during the music and your life.
Often explored:
Identity, grief, emotional patterns, personal
growth, meaning-making, and deeper self-exploration.
A CLOSER LOOK AT GUIDED IMAGERY & MUSIC
More than
listening.
Music can become a landscape for exploring your inner experience.
In The Bonny Method, music is used intentionally to support an altered state of consciousness. This is a natural, music-facilitated state of focused awareness, not one produced by substances.
Images, sensations, emotions, and memories may emerge as the music unfolds. Your guide supports you in attending to the experience without prescribing what it should mean.
Afterward, we make space to reflect on what emerged. Drawing, conversation, and other creative approaches may help with integration.
This approach may be particularly interesting if you feel you've reached the limits of understanding something intellectually and want to explore it experientially.

Sometimes the work
goes deeper.
Music-based experiential approaches can provide additional ways to explore complex emotional experiences and questions of meaning.
Making room for
difficult experiences.
Music-based therapy can support exploration of trauma-related experiences, emotional patterns, and the ways past experiences continue to affect the present.
Work is approached thoughtfully, with attention to emotional safety, pacing, and integration.

Understanding
what emerges.
Significant experiences can leave us with questions, emotions, or insights that are difficult to put into words.
Music-centered integration work provides space to reflect on previous altered-state experiences, including psychedelic experiences, and consider how they connect with everyday life.
Psychedelic substances are not provided or administered as part of these services.
