Love events like this!!

Join us this Saturday 4/25 for a sensory friendly morning in support of Autism Acceptance Month.

This is a free event created with the goal of supporting families. We will be offering a calm, welcoming space with reduced noise, lower lighting, and a smaller crowd so you and your little ones can enjoy playtime comfortably alongside other moms and caregivers.

Hello to all of our followers! This is the owner, Jordy Novak. I wanted to let you all know of some changes that are coming up and why they are happening. We started serving clients in-home in 2017 and grew so fast that we opened our clinic in 2021 to serve more folks and to provide a unique and comfortable space for therapy. Now in 2026 we have decided to close our clinic. We are a small family owned business and it has become too difficult to manage the space between just my husband and me. I just gave birth to my daughter in November and we have a 4 year old son who requires our attention while I also work a separate job teaching at the university. While all of this is happening, Andrew's dad has entered hospice care after his long battle with cancer. We're taking some time to step back and center our family during this season. I will still continue to see clients in-home and any therapists that wish to work with us will also see clients in-home. This is one of the struggles of owning a small business. I want all of the clients to be served, but I know that it's just not possible to get to everyone. We will see what the future has in store, but for now, you can find The Great Lakes Music Company out in the community serving our clients where they are.

With gratitude,

Jordy

🌟 Community Spotlight! 🌟

We’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Walmart (Merrillville) and Portillo’s (Merrillville) for their generous donations to our Great Lakes Music Company Food Drive! 🥫💙

Even though our politicians may be divided, our community continues to stand united. This is our time to show the true strength and compassion of Northwest Indiana — proving that when we come together, we can make a real impact for our most vulnerable neighbors.

Every can, every contribution, and every act of kindness helps families right here at home. Thank you for standing with us to fight hunger and build hope. 💪🎶

Food insecurity can affect anyone. With SNAP benefits ending on November 1st, we want to do what we can to help our clients and families in need. If you come into our clinic for sessions and either need food or want to donate, we have a box set up on our front desk. If you have sessions at home and want to donate or request food, please let your therapist know!
