Questions are welcome here.
A few practical answers about therapy, who it’s for, how it works, and what getting started actually looks like.
Before you book
You don’t need to figure out whether therapy is the right fit before talking with me. That’s what the consultation is for.
The questions below cover the things people most often want to know before reaching out.
Who is Musician Therapy Studio for?
Musician Therapy Studio is for musicians and people whose lives or work are connected to music and the creative world. That includes performers, songwriters, producers, engineers, managers, educators, touring crew, studio professionals, and other people working behind the scenes.
You don’t have to make your living from music. If music is a meaningful part of your life, you belong here.
Do I have to be a musician to work with you?
No. Music is the common thread of the practice, but therapy isn’t limited to people who perform. Creative professionals and people whose lives are closely connected to music are welcome.
What kinds of things do you help with?
Common areas include anxiety, depression, burnout, performance anxiety, grief and loss, relationships, major life changes, and the stress that can come with creative work.
Therapy can also be useful when something feels off but you want help understanding the pattern and changing what isn’t working.
Do you understand the music industry?
I work specifically with people connected to music, so the context matters here. Touring, irregular schedules, performance pressure, creative identity, unstable income, industry relationships, and the realities of working in music can all be part of the conversation.
You shouldn’t have to spend your sessions explaining why a problem exists in the first place.
What happens in a therapy session?
Sessions are collaborative and practical. We look at what is happening, understand the patterns that keep it going, and work on changes that make sense for your actual life.
My approach draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, neuroscience, and nervous-system-informed work.
Do you offer online therapy?
Yes. Online therapy is available throughout Colorado. I also see clients in person in Arvada.
Do you take insurance?
Yes. I accept most insurance plans, and private-pay options are also available.
You can find current information about fees, insurance, and out-of-network options on the Insurance & Fees page.
How much does therapy cost?
The standard private-pay rate is $175 per session. Insurance may cover some or all of the cost depending on your plan and benefits.
The Insurance & Fees page has more information.
How long are sessions?
Standard therapy sessions are approximately 50–55 minutes.
Do I need a diagnosis to start therapy?
No. You can reach out because something is affecting your life, relationships, work, creativity, or overall mental health. We can talk about what you’re experiencing and whether therapy makes sense from there.
What if I’m not sure whether you’re the right therapist for me?
That’s exactly what the initial consultation is for. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re looking for, and whether my practice is a good fit.
There is no obligation to schedule ongoing therapy after the consultation.
How do I get started?
Start with a free 15–20 minute consultation. You can choose a time through the Start Here page.
Still have a question?
You can bring it to the consultation. We’ll figure out whether this is the right place to start.
