Happy Autism Acceptance Month!
At Wildwood, we strive to offer neurodiversity affirming services. Neurodiversity-affirming music therapy practices recognize and celebrate the diverse ways in which individuals experience and engage with music and with the world around them in general. These practices are person-centered, acknowledging the unique strengths, preferences, and sensory profiles of each individual.
Using Music to Help With Seasonal Emotions
Research consistently suggests an uptick in depressive symptoms during the winter months, a phenomenon commonly known as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Care from a licensed counselor is our number one recommendation for anyone facing mental health concerns, but music can be a great therapeutic tool to add to your wellness toolkit during this time of year.
