Welcome!

I’m Shannon Pelcher-Rao, a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist and Board Certified Music Therapist in practice for over a decade. I am also a trained Internal Family Systems Therapist.

As a music psychotherapist, I offer you the space to lay your issues out on the table and playfully examine them through a lens of curiosity and creativity. This may look like diving into your life narrative through songs and music or like finding compassion and clarity around parts of yourself that are no longer serving you.

I come to this work with great passion and curiosity. I am a therapist who is always working to grow and learn. I would feel deeply honored to be a part of your journey to healing and growth.
