Do any of these sound like your loved one? If so, reach out! We’d be honored to walk alongside you—and let music lead the way.

The neurological effects of music on the brain are the foundation of why music therapy works.

From movement to memory, emotion to connection—music lights up every known part of the brain. That’s not just fascinating—it’s what makes music such a powerful tool for healing and change.

Swipe through to see the science behind the magic. 💡

At Empower, we use music intentionally—to support growth, healing, and well-being for all brains, all bodies, and all stories.

PROMOTION ALERT 🎉 Our very own Anna Laura McAfee, MMT, MT-BC, has officially stepped into the role of Clinical Director at Empower—and honestly, it it just makes sense.

As our practice grows, so do its roots—and Anna Laura has been tending them with care and brilliance from day one. She’s mentored every therapist who’s walked through our doors, shaped the systems that hold us up, and infused our work with a deep understanding of how people grow, heal, and thrive through music therapy.

And let’s be real: she’s also the kind of colleague who reminds you to take an ice cream break, makes you belly laugh mid-meeting, and casually drops a philosophical gem that leaves you reflecting for days. Her clinical supervision sessions never disappoint—they ground us, stretch us, and reconnect us to our why.

We couldn’t be more proud—or more grateful—to have her in this role. She leads with warmth, curiosity, and playfulness—and we’re so lucky she’s ours.

Help us give a big round of applause to our new Clinical Director!

If you’ve stepped foot in the Empower house or met a team member out in the community, we hope our core values are obvious.

These aren’t just words on a wall. They’re the heartbeat of who we are—guiding every session, every decision, every conversation.

We chose just a handful from our big list to spotlight, but trust us: these values show up in everything we do.

Why is values-based leadership so important?
Because in a world that can feel noisy and disconnected, values keep us rooted. They remind us who we are, what matters most, and how we want to show up—for ourselves, for our clients, and for each other.

When things get hard (and they do), our values are the compass that keeps us moving with integrity and purpose.

Somewhere in the craziness of growing Empower this year, I totally forgot to mention... we’re officially an AWARD-WINNING practice!

Earlier this year, I got honored at Belmont’s Annual Entrepreneur Awards as one of the Top 100 small businesses founded by alumni. Still pinching myself!

Here’s the thing—I was part of Belmont’s very first music therapy graduating class. Just a few of us figuring it out alongside our professors, literally learning from the program as it was being built.

That whole experience, plus watching my family run small businesses my entire life, made me think “Maybe I can actually do this too.”

Getting recognized by the school where it all started? Man, that hits different. It’s not just an award—it feels like everything coming full circle.

Thanks for being on this wild ride with me! I have no clue what’s coming next, but I know we’ll keep doing what we do best: leading with our hearts, staying true to our mission, and bringing music into everything.

Friends, let’s talk about Pride – not just for a month, but as a way of living authentically every day. 🌈♿️💖

At Empower Music Therapy, we celebrate two beautiful facets of human diversity: LGBTQ+ Pride and Disability Pride. Why? Because we believe that true belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are.

Your sexual orientation, gender identity, neurodiversity, or disability – these aren’t imperfections to be fixed. They’re integral parts of your story, and we’re here to support you in embracing every chapter.

Showing up as your whole self takes courage. It’s vulnerable. It’s also where the magic happens. In our music therapy sessions, we create space for that vulnerability, that authenticity, that wholehearted living.

Remember: You are worthy of love and belonging, not despite your identities, but because of them. Your unique voice adds richness to our collective harmony.

So, let’s celebrate the fullness of who we are – today and every day.

No matter where you are in your journey —
you belong in the song. 😊
It’s our slogan because it’s true:
“Life is full of low notes and high notes. Let’s sing the song together.”

Getting started at Empower is simple — just book a free 20-minute discovery call through the link in our bio, and you’ll be off to the races! Why not take the first step toward therapy that’s not just effective, but also cathartic, emotional, and actually pretty fun?

At Empower’s clinic, we specialize in compassionate, client-centered music therapy for kids, teens, and adults with disabilities, differences, and neurodiversities like autism and ADHD. We proudly support their siblings and caregivers too — because healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in community, with the whole village. 🤝🎶

Give us a shout, book an assessment, and experience therapy with soul.

It’s easy to forget how powerful music can be as a tool for reconnection, especially when we often listen passively. But what if you tried listening actively with someone you’re hoping to connect with more deeply—perhaps your child?

This activity combines a common family therapy technique called “special time” with a music therapy intervention known as “song discussion.”

We hope it helps! ❤️ You can even adapt it to add movement, art making or fidgets— whatever keeps engagement flowing!
