Translating your internal thoughts, needs, or emotions into spoken language can feel unreliable or inaccessible, especially under stress. Your emotions might be difficult to identify or express verbally to people you know or love. Internally, these experiences may increase your anxiety, make it hard to feel regulated, and make you feel disconnected from others. You want your love ones to understand you and see your internal world.
We want to provide you with techniques that encourage growth in your everyday life. Prepare to feel encouraged to explore, reflect and take control of your emotions, habits, and wellness. We will meet you where you are, follow your lead, and create moments of shared presence and connection, without the pressure of getting all the words right. Be prepared to become more intentional with your communication, improve your mindset and behaviors, and foster a sense of control of your body and mind.
Music therapy uses music-centered experiences to target daily life skills such as emotional expression and mental health, communication, socialization and behavior, physical rehabilitation, and cognition. You will have the opportunity to use a variety of live and recorded music, various instruments, rhythmic movement, music technology, and sensory materials to help you achieve the unique goals and objectives we create together.

Hi, I'm Mellany, a CT Licensed and Board-Certified Music Therapist who helps individuals of all ages and abilities feel more empowered to live authentically as themselves by providing them the tools to explore, reflect and take control of their emotions, habits, and behaviors.

I'm passionate about this work because I know what it's like to feel uncertain about your own emotions, to always question if you're enough. You deserve to feel empowered by your thoughts and actions. I'm here to help your amplify your voice.

"As a music therapist with 20 years of experience and a faculty member at Southern Connecticut State University, I wholeheartedly endorse Melodic Goals. Mellany and her team have consistently provided invaluable clinical experiences and supervision for my students. Their dedication, quality of care, and integrity are truly commendable."
"Melodic Goals owner and Director, Mellany Gomez, has been a valued partner in our school community for the past three years. She is committed to cultivating a safe, nurturing environment where students’ individual needs are recognized and supported. Through trauma‑informed musical engagement, Ms. Gomez helps students process experiences related to abuse, neglect, or violence while developing healthy coping strategies that strengthen emotional regulation and resilience. Her program also focuses on reducing trigger responses that may lead to reactive or aggressive behaviors, empowering students to navigate challenges with greater confidence and self‑awareness."
"I have had the privilege of working professionally with Ms. Mellany through Melodic Goals LLC in a local school district, and her impact on students is truly unmatched. She has an extraordinary ability to engage every child she works with—whether they are medically complex, have sensory needs, or experience challenges with behavior regulation. Using a holistic, client-led approach, she supports educational access while addressing academics,
communication, and motor skills through music and movement. The progress her students make is consistently evident and recognized by all members of the educational team."
"I have also had the opportunity to observe other music therapists within Melodic Goals LLC, and their talent, skill, and professionalism are evident. It is clear they have learned from the very
best. Melodic Goals LLC truly lives its mission of expanding access to music therapy and creating meaningful, inclusive wellness opportunities for individuals of all abilities and ages. We
highly recommend Melodic Goals without hesitation."

Music therapy sessions utilize music to support individuals facing cognitive, social, emotional, behavioral, physical, medical, or mental health challenges. In sessions, our clinicians use a variety of live and recorded music, various instruments, rhythmic movement, music technology, and sensory and visual aids to help clients achieve their individualized goals and objectives in an individual or group setting. All music therapy sessions must be facilitated by a board-certified music therapist.
From newborn to legacy care, anyone can benefit from music therapy. We typically work with individuals with developmental disabilities, mental and behavioral health disorders, progressive diseases, and/or medical disorders and injuries.
You can find music therapists in schools (IEP specific or general elementary, middle, and high), homes, daycares, preschools, hospitals, nursing homes, adult day centers, prisons, psychiatric facilities, community services (ex. Support groups), and more.
Not at all -- music is for everyone! If you are moved and motivated by music, simply come as you are.
Melodic Goals’ music therapists are qualified and enjoy working with individuals as young as a few months old to end-of-life care.

-Clinical Foundations: psychology and counseling
-Music Therapy Foundations: history, approaches, interventions
-1200 hours of clinical training, including supervised internship
-Take national board certification exam and earn the Music Therapist – Board Certified (MT-BC) credential

We are located at The Collective Space on 258 Windsor Ave, Suite 5, Windsor, CT 06095. We also travel throughout Hartford County to homes and facilities.
In Connecticut, music therapy services are not currently covered by insurance. Music therapy costs can, however, be paid with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Some individuals have music therapy funded through government services such as, but not limited to, the Department of Developmental Services, the Department of Aging and Disability Services or the Department of Children and Families.
At Melodic Goals, our music therapy service costs are priced by the time and frequency of services. We offer 30, 45, and 60 minute services at a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly frequency. Prices increase annually and start at $60 per session for one individual. If you are low income, please ask about our rates as we aim to work through any financial hardships to make services possible! At Melodic Goals, we believe everyone deserves to receive the support they need to grow. Please contact us at mellany@melodicgoals.com or 860-500-3444 to book a consultation for more information!
