About Bee You Music Therapy
Music is more than sound — it is a pathway to growth, healing, and authentic self-expression.
Who We Are
Bee You Music Therapy is a board-certified music therapy practice based in the San Francisco Bay Area, proudly serving clients across the San Francisco Bay Area, and throughout California overall via telehealth. We are a team of passionate, credentialed music therapists dedicated to using the transformative power of music to support children, adolescents, adults, and older adults at every stage of life.
Founded by Erin Gaines, MT-BC, NMT, our practice was built on the belief that every person deserves to be seen, heard, and celebrated for exactly who they are. Whether we are working with a toddler in early intervention, a teenager navigating identity, an adult managing a neurological condition, or a senior in a memory care program, we bring clinical expertise and genuine compassion to every session.
What We Do
Our services span early childhood development, adolescent support, adult wellness and recovery, and adaptive music making. We provide individualized, evidence-based music therapy sessions in homes, schools, community spaces, rehabilitation centers, adult day programs, senior living facilities, and online. We also offer internship opportunities for music therapy students, community group programs, and partnerships with local organizations.
Bee You Music Therapy is affiliated with Spirited Play Labs, the BEAM Collective, the Safe Space Alliance, and is committed to culturally responsive, equity-centered care for all communities — including Indigenous peoples, immigrants, LGBTQ+ individuals, and families of all backgrounds. Our mission is simple: help every client be authentically, fully themselves through the universal language of music.
