Music Therapy

Integrative music support groups utilize music to encourage positive changes in mood and overall well-being. These sessions may include music listening, discussion, interpretation, creative expression, song-writing, or other music interventions. Some of the documented benefits of music therapy include improved self-esteem and self-confidence, decreased feelings of anxiety and depression, increased motivation and focus, increased ability to identify and articulate emotions, and stronger connections to other people.

Those who have been approved for this no-cost integrative service through the Vegas Strong Resiliency Center can attend sessions online with licensed and board-certified music therapist Emily Rawlings, LPMT, MT-BC. In-person sessions may also be available to those in Las Vegas.

Prior approval is required to participate. Requests can be submitted through the Resiliency Center’s website or by calling 702-455-2433. Visit resiliencyandjustice.org/integrativeservices to learn more about other services available, such as art therapy and meditation/mindfulness.
