More creation can mean less medication.
Music and Arts Prescription
We could share with you all of the scientific, evidence-based research, with endless data and clinical terminology—but we won’t. We know that what you really care about is exactly how these prescription-based treatments can benefit you and your loved ones.
So, we’re sharing that.
First... Who can we help with music and art therapy?
Examples of our clientele include but are not limited to:
- Children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
- Children experiencing behavioral or social challenges at school or home
- Children and adults with advanced medical needs
- Traumatic Brain Injury
- The aging elderly with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s Disease
- Those struggling with symptoms related to a mental health diagnosis
Music and art are the guiding lights of the world.
Then… How do we do it?
Music Therapy
Music therapy can hit the perfect notes to help someone psychologically, emotionally, physically, spiritually, cognitively, and socially.
How is this accomplished?
- Intentional listening and reflection of music
- Singing
- Playing instruments
- Music creation
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.
Then… How do we do it?
Art Therapy
To put it simply, art therapy can be the brush needed to help paint the picture of a better life. It’s not about the product, it’s about the process.
We do this by:
- Guided creation of artwork
- Encouraging self-expression
- Interpreting and exploring emotions through artmaking
It’s more than just color-by-number. Creating works of art generates an amazing rainbow of emotions through which therapeutic healing can be done. Creativity can open the doors to dark and empty spaces and let in the sunshine. Sunshine needed to live a healthier and happier 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.
