About Songs Heal
We as musicians and songwriters are united by one thing: songs have the power to uplift us, transform us, and heal us.
This is the inspiration for our name. At Songs Heal, our greatest motivator is to promote the healing power of songwriting through affordable and high-quality resources, education, training, and services. We want to ensure that anyone who wants to use songwriting in education or in service can access the tools they need to make client experiences supportive, success-oriented, therapeutic, and aligned with best practices.
What is Therapeutic Songwriting?
We define therapeutic songwriting as a collaborative song-crafting process that is purposefully designed to support mental health goals.
Over the years we have seen and worked alongside so many wonderful performing artists, educators, and music therapists who use songwriting in service of others. But with few resources and tools, some can be left wondering: how do I ensure I feel confident using songwriting with my clients? How can I guarantee that my clients feel successful and confident when we work together? How do I know that the skills I teach are age-appropriate, that I am addressing my client's goals, and that I am working within my scope of practice? On top of it all, how do I describe the work that I do in a way that is clear, direct, and truly shows the magic of what we do as educators, community artists, and music therapists?
Scouring books and studies and searching for relevant content and resources can be expensive and time-consuming. We believe in equity and accessibility, and that breaking out of high-cost systems can open doors for more professionals to have the resources they need to feel confident and successful.

We have lots of knowledge to share, and we want to know: what do YOU want to know?
