Music therapy is a modality facilitated by a specially trained music therapist in which music is used to address non-musical goals. In this group specifically, we will be using music to assist in emotional expression and building social connection.

Lyric analysis is an intervention used in music therapy that might remind you of a mix between a good friend saying “hey, check out this song!” and high school English class. In lyric analysis we will focus on a specific song and interpret what the artist is saying and how it applies to different aspects of our lives. This is also an ideal intervention for the virtual setting.

This group is open to adults in North Carolina and will meet virtually the 2nd Thursday evening of each month from 7:30-8:30. The cost of the group is $150 for 3 consecutive sessions.

Each session will focus on one song and a specific theme. At the end of the session, the group will compile options for song selection for the following month.

This group will run with a minimum of 3 participants and is capped at 8 participants.

This group blends being an open group (anyone can join each month) with consistency to get to know the other group participants. When you sign up, you are committing to 3 consecutive monthly sessions. Please check your schedule, and let Sarah know about special circumstances (planned absences, etc). Group attendance is not only valuable to your process – your fellow group members are relying on you for the full group experience as well!

Please email Sarah Szymanowski at sarah@fermata-counseling.com with your interest and any question you may have. We will set up a time for a free 15 minute phone call to make sure this group is the best fit for you.
