Music Therapy Session
Music Therapy at The Burlington Clinic offers a deeply personal, creative, and adaptive therapeutic experience. With Dr. Saal’s dual expertise as a psychiatrist and musician, music therapy becomes more than a treatment modality—it’s an evolving dialogue between music, emotion, and the subconscious mind.
Whether used as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with ketamine-assisted psychotherapy or other integrative approaches, music therapy is designed to meet you where you are. Dr. Saal’s sessions are flexible and responsive to your needs, allowing music to guide the therapeutic process, fostering emotional release, self-exploration, and healing in ways that traditional talk therapies may not reach.
Why Choose Music Therapy with Dr. Saal?
Dr. Saal’s approach to music therapy is highly personalised and intuitive. He integrates his deep understanding of psychiatry with his lifelong passion for music, using this medium to help clients connect with their emotions on a deeper level. Music therapy is not one-size-fits-all—Dr. Saal adapts each session based on the client’s therapeutic needs, using instruments, listening exercises, and live music performances to guide the process.
