"I have volunteered at Empower a few times now, and I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. The Empower Team does such an amazing job at creating an inclusive, authentic, and FUN environment for their clients and their volunteers! It was such a joy and a privilege to be able to learn from Kate and Maria. They are truly amazing clinicians and humans! Yay Empower!"

"Empower Music Therapy is truly like no other music therapy I've encountered. Kate vision and passion for community is beyond inspirational. She is constantly collaborating with others and puts her clients needs first. As a business partner of Empower, I have witnessed first-hand how clients feel after a session at Empower. There is nothing but warmth, comfort, safety, and joy in this space. I cannot recommend Empower enough."

"Anna Laura and Kate are amazing at what they do! Music Therapy is a vital tool for treating those who suffer from severe trauma. I’m so grateful to Empower Music Therapy for being on this journey of healing and hope. It is critical for young people who may not have the words but have big feelings, to learn to express themselves in a meaningful and healthy manner. I am and will be forever grateful."

"I had the pleasure of visiting the Empower House, as I like to call it, and see what magic happens inside this facility over in the Berry Hill confines. You will not find more qualified, more passionate, more caring or more trustworthy ladies than the team at EMT led by the amazing Kate Kelly. No matter what your age or standing is, the ability for them to be able to connect with their clients through music, song, lyrics, and sounds is just astonishing. The facility is warm and inviting, truly allowing you to just be yourself, with no judgements, no frills, no reservations. I truly gained a greater appreciation for the healing art of music by stopping by, and I encourage anyone in need of therapy or counseling to pay a visit and have your life CHANGED."

"I have been searching for alternatives to talk therapy for years and I am so grateful to have discovered Empower Music Therapy so close in Nashville! Kate is unlike any therapist I've ever worked with. Yes, she's kind, compassionate, and creates a safe space to open up, but she offers so much more to her clients. Kate has a unique way of using the medium of music to get her clients out of their heads and actually experiencing the shift that comes with allowing themselves to truly express through music. It's the difference between talking about what's making you anxious, and actually releasing those bottled up feelings. Even if (like me) you believe you don't have a musical bone in your body, I still highly recommend this form of healing. Not only did Kate prove me wrong about my own abilities (another delightful shift that I wasn't even looking for when I booked!) but using music to get out of my over-analytical head was just the thing I needed to break through the thought-loop that I had been stuck in for months (In just my first session.) I always enjoy going in for my sessions with Kate, and just when I think I know what to expect, she surprises me and uncovers a deeper layer that unlocks another level of peace of mind. Thank you Kate and the wonderful staff and practitioners at Empower Music Therapy!"
