THERAPEUTIC SONGWRITING · ST. PAUL, MN
Therapeutic songwriting in St. Paul, MN
Some things will not come out in a sentence. They come out in a line, a melody, a chorus you keep repeating until it stops hurting.
Therapeutic songwriting uses music and lyrics as the way in. You write, we work with what comes up. No performance, no audience, no talent required.

Who this is for
- Musicians and creatives stuck in a block
- Teens who would rather write than explain
- Memories that feel too sharp to discuss directly
- People who freeze up in traditional talk therapy
- Anyone processing grief or anger
- Clients who want something other than weekly talking
You do not need to be a musician
No singing, no instrument, no reading music. Plenty of clients have never written anything before
their first session. Some finish with full songs. Others never write a chorus and still get what they
came for. Both count.
How sessions run

Start honest

Write a few lines
A lyric, a fragment, or a song that has
been following you around.
03

and what you want to do about it.
