Empowering & Enriching Lives with Creative Arts Therapies

Our Four Pillars

MCC Care Partnerships

We believe that creative arts therapies is an integral component of your care organization.

MCC therapists provide music, art, and dance therapy in long-term care homes, adult day programs, hospices, schools, mental health centers, and disability services across Ontario.

1 to 1 Support

We believe creativity can open doors that words alone cannot.

Our in-person and virtual psychotherapy sessions combine talk therapy with music or art to support emotional wellness in a flexible, accessible format for adolescents and adults.

Creative Community

We believe the benefits of the creative arts should be accessible to everyone.

From intergenerational programs and caregiver wellness to adapted music lessons for kids, our community initiatives bring connection, creativity, and joy beyond clinical settings.

Creative Conversations

We believe in sharing knowledge that inspires and connects.

Through keynotes, professional workshops, and our annual Creative Arts in Dementia Care Symposium, we spark important dialogue at the intersection of aging, creativity, and wellness.

"Miya and her team of therapists are amazing! They have provided meaningful engagement to the clients that I work with. It improves their mood and brightens their day substantially. It is wonderful and heart warming to see the power of music in action."
