My experience with Guard Goose Music Therapy has been genuinely impactful — more than I ever could have imagined.

Working with Alec has brought a sense of hope and peace into our lives during a time that felt uncertain and overwhelming.

Our first experience exceeded my expectations! It was truly amazing to see my son so happy, regulated, laughing, and in his element!

Our Mission

GGMT is a small, value-centered practice offering wholesome and personalized music therapy. We keep our caseload intentionally small so each client receives the time, care, and attention they need to feel truly heard and supported. Our goal is to create meaningful, individualized experiences that empower clients to live fulfilling and connected lives.

In addition to music therapy, GGMT incorporates principles of agroforestry - an ecological approach to food production that emphasizes sustainability and stewardship. By weaving together music and land-based practices, we offer a holistic model of care that nurtures both personal well-being and community resilience.

We believe healing and growth happen in harmony - with self, family, community, and the land.
