"If one does not keep pace with their companions, perhaps it is because they hear a different drummer. Let them step to the music which they hear, however measured or far away." - Henry David Thoreau
Becca Stone, LPMT, MT-BC
I am a Jungian-informed music therapist who has been working in the mental health field for 11 years. My expertise and passion centers the treatment of trauma for people from all walks of life, and especially neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ individuals. Our culture does not give us the tools nor the structure to meet its standards and demands. My aim as a therapist is to be a guide, offer meaningful experiences, and ask good questions so that you may go towards the life you want to live.
Together we may use various avenues such as music, art, storytelling and somatic experiencing to address your therapeutic goals, which I can help you define. I use a Jungian perspective that includes (but isn't limited to) dream analysis and identifying unconscious processes and how they affect our behaviors.
I have lived experience as a queer, neurodivergent person. I operate from the lens of “liberation psychology”, which centers the experience, knowledge and action of those who have been excluded and marginalized (see FAQ’s for expanded definition).
More about me:
I am an artist and musician and dabble in every medium I enjoy dancing, pretty much any style I frequently change my hair I enjoy weird films, the weirder the better I’m neurodivergent I enjoy gardening, hiking, cycling, pretty much any outdoor activity I have a goofy cat and even goofier dog
