Music Therapy

Your cancer journey can take unexpected turns. Some can even be surprisingly meaningful and joyful. Our music therapy program can give you (and your family) a much-needed outlet as part of your cancer care.

How Can Music Therapy Help?

First of all, you don’t have to be a musician or even have musical talent (or love rock, Bach — or neither). But if you’re being treated for cancer, you could benefit from self-expression, distraction, comfort and support. Our board-certified music therapists combine music and therapy techniques to help you sort through a range of issues, from physical and emotional to psychosocial.

Our music therapists will work with you to meet your needs, work toward your goals and help you in new, exciting ways. Sometimes, that may mean listening to, reflecting on or even making music. Your family is welcome to join.
