Getting to know Carla Chikhani
With a diverse cultural background and proficiency in English, Spanish, and French, I possess a valuable skill set that enables me to effectively engage with clients from various cultural backgrounds. This proficiency allows me to appreciate and respect the unique perspectives and challenges they may encounter on their journey toward self-actualization.
Recognizing the profound influence of music, I have seamlessly integrated it into my therapeutic practice as a catalyst for exploration, expression, and clarity. By leveraging music as a medium, I facilitate a deeper connection between the subconscious and conscious mind, fostering self-discovery and empowerment.
I hold a Master's degree in Music Therapy from Molloy University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to create tailored and supportive therapeutic frameworks. Central to my approach is the belief that individuals inherently possess the solutions they seek within themselves. However, the demands of daily life often hinder the exploration of these inner resources. Through music therapy, I guide clients toward introspection and insight, fostering a profound understanding of their inner world and promoting holistic growth across all facets of life.
What should a new client know about working with you?
In my approach to client work, I adopt a holistic perspective that extends beyond the surface presentation, acknowledging the interconnectedness of various facets of your life. My commitment to attentive listening ensures that your concerns are thoroughly understood, fostering an atmosphere of trust and support where you feel comfortable delving into diverse aspects of your experience.
Therapeutic intervention serves as a profound pathway to inner healing, facilitating the processing and expression of emotions. Leveraging the transformative potential of music, we embark on a collaborative journey, allowing for a deeper exploration of emotions and experiences.
When addressing unresolved traumas, our focus initiates with acknowledging your experiences, potentially reframing narratives to empower you, and subsequently transitioning to cultivating adaptive coping strategies. This process enhances self-awareness and empowers you to embody your authentic self. Our collaborative endeavor is a privilege, and I approach it with a profound sense of honor, dedicated to guiding you toward the achievement of your therapeutic objectives.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
At the onset of each session, we conduct a comprehensive verbal check-in, reviewing the insights gleaned from our previous session and addressing any developments that have arisen since. Through this dialogue, we facilitate a deepening of your self-awareness while using the therapeutic power of music to illuminate unconscious material related to your expressed thoughts and emotions.
Our sessions encompass an exploration of the depths of your internal psyche, allowing us to identify and examine underlying emotions and patterns. This process affords a profound understanding and recognition, fostering a heightened sense of self.
As we engage with music, we delve into the experiential realm, weaving connections between the music and your personal journey. By drawing parallels and identifying patterns, we illuminate insights and cultivate awareness, enriching your understanding of self.
Ultimately, our collaborative efforts aim to provide you with a transformative therapeutic experience, characterized by enhanced insight and self-awareness at the end of the session.
