Healing Voice
Singing to reduce anxiety and depression
In this program we create powerful lyrics and evocative musical contexts which reframe negative experiences. The atmosphere is safe and friendly, full of encouragement, and guided by a teacher who has worked with thousands of non-singers addressing vocal blocks and issues of shame and critical self-judgment.
With failure off the table, we become open to be seen and validated for who we truly are. Easy to follow exercises and positive lyrics integrate and reframe our past experiences into a story of triumph and release. With our new “song” our authentic inner narratives lead the way into self-acceptance, freedom, and healing. It’s a unique methodology for exciting group-work, full of vocal and personal breakthroughs.
The Healing Voice approach has been vetted by mental health clinicians across the country. We work with your team at your facility to craft a unique and transformative experience that complements existing therapies and traditional recovery programming. Sessions range from 90 minutes to a half-day, and can accommodate 8 to 16 participants.

“Although he does not use traditional CBT jargon, Claude intuitively addresses past conflicts and emotional resistance using Moreno’s psychodrama, Perl’s role play, Erickson’s paradox, and Shorr’s visualization methods. He is a flowing and creative artist who facilitates each person’s experience of emotional and cathartic release in a relaxed and open context.”
-Kenneth Langlieb, Ph.D.
Psychologist
“Whether he was teaching the group as a whole or working with individuals, Claude’s style was personal and artful . He offered the ceaseless array of spontaneous exercises and on-the-mark commentary that come only with the wisdom of experience. With the skill of a masterful gestalt therapist he engaged each participant in exploring vulnerabilities, blocks and unltimately personal strengths through their songs clarifying the personal psychological issues which inhibit self-expression.”
-Mary Francis Sink, Ph.D.
