Allison (Allie) Longworth
Other
Allie uses Music Therapy to help clients find answers around who they are, what they want, how to reach their personal goals, and find internal peace.
Music has an extraordinary ability to enhance the healing journey, and you don’t need any musical background to experience its benefits. What matters most is your willingness to engage in the therapeutic process. Together, we’ll identify your goals—whether that means managing difficult emotions, overcoming personal challenges, nurturing healthier relationships, or striving for a more fulfilling life. While conversations are important in music therapy, the true magic lies in how music helps us uncover and explore your deeper emotions. With specialized training in the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery in Music, I’m here to guide you through this transformative experience. Music can evoke profound memories and feelings, offering a safe space to fully express and understand your emotions. Choosing the right therapist can feel overwhelming, so I offer a complimentary phone consultation to help you decide if we’re a good fit. I genuinely look forward to connecting with you, discussing your healing journey, and exploring the potential paths we can take together. You’re not alone in this.
