Our Philosophy
A Note from Joshua
“For me, music therapy is not just about techniques or goals—it’s about relationships, trust, and creativity.”
Welcome to Music Therapy Now! My wife and I started this practice because we’ve experienced firsthand how powerful music is in helping me heal, connect, and grow through my own health challenges. Every client I work with has their own story, and I believe music therapy should honor that uniqueness.Whether we’re singing, playing, moving, or simply listening together, I want every session to feel safe, supportive, and meaningful. With music as our guide, we can explore emotions, discover strengths, and create moments of joy that last well beyond the session.Warmly,
Joshua Brown, MT-BC
