Meet The Therapist
Hello! My name is Matthew North, MT-BC. I am the owner and founder of Expanding Horizons Music Therapy.
I graduated from Pacific University with a Bachelor's in Music Therapy and completed my 1200-hour clinical internship at a private practice in Portland, Oregon in 2019. Expanding Horizons was established here on Maui in August 2021.
I follow a humanistic and client-centered therapeutic philosophy. This emphasizes the value of the individual and their strengths, rather than focusing on a person's behaviors, challenges, or weaknesses. Building on your strengths can help you reach your goals while emphasizing positivity and wellness.
I also highly value the Neurodiversity Movement, social justice, and anti-oppressive practices. This makes for more inclusive, constructive, and safe therapeutic spaces. If you would like to learn more about these topics I would be happy to discuss them or share resources with you!
Expanding Horizons MT strives to offer high-quality music therapy services to people of all ages and abilities in order to reach their fullest potential by improving quality of life and improving mental and physical wellness.
