Music Prescription For Healing
We know you want to understand exactly how music therapy can benefit you and your loved ones. Instead of overwhelming you with complex medical terms and endless research, we’ll keep it simple and focus on what’s most important—the transformative power of music.
Who Can Benefit from Music Therapy?
Our music therapy programs support a diverse range of individuals, including:
- Children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Children experiencing behavioral or social challenges at school or home

Music and art are the guiding lights of the world.
Then… How do we do it?
Music therapy is more than simply listening to a favorite song. Here’s how our approach supports healing across psychological, emotional, physical, spiritual, cognitive, and social levels:
- Intentional Listening and Reflection: Helping participants discover connections and find comfort in music.
- Singing and Playing Instruments: Encouraging creative self-expression and building new skills.
- Creating Music: Embracing the joy and empowerment of making music, regardless of musical ability.
It’s a simple concept, done in such a way that provides life-changing results. Don’t worry—musical talent or perfect pitch is not required. The only pre-requisite is the desire to have a full and happy life.

Here's what people are saying about us...

Erica and her staff at Healing Harmonies have provided some incredible music therapy with a certain individual for whom I serve as guardian. His cognitive illness severely affects his speech but when he sings with Healing Harmonies he is lucid and understandable, not to mention very talented. In my collaboration with Erica Flores and her agency, I’ve come to learn a great deal about the healing power of music.
