The artistic community hasn't gotten the support it needs and many artists leave the industry or spend years struggling with serious financial and mental health issues. Kav Counseling clinicians bring a diverse array of experience as industry professionals and artists to their therapeutic work. Our approach is rooted in the classic therapeutic tradition while incorporating contemporary models and practices. Our comprehensive counseling also includes strong business and legal support that supports the therapeutic work.
Our goal is to help our clients build sustainable careers where possible by helping solve the problems related to their mental, relational and financial functioning which impede artistic work. We operate with the implicit sense that a creative life can work. Creative fulfillment and the fullest expression of one's art and life is possible and probable.
Kav Counseling works from an understanding that a strong community requires the strength and health of its individual members. Every instance of psychological and spiritual health emanates outwards and changes the industry for the better. We believe healthy culture workers and their contributions are necessary for a stable arts and music community.

Sober Train: Sober Musicians Group

For professional musicians, choosing a life of sobriety can be very difficult. Without support, it can lead to social isolation, anxiety, depression, career confusion and difficulty navigating relationships. Sober Train is group therapy for musicians who want to choose a sober life. Facilitated by psychotherapist and lifelong music industry professional Odelia Powell, the group works towards resolving underlying issues that have contributed to unhealthy substance use. The goal of the group is to help participants stay connected with their professional and artistic endeavors, while strengthening their personal and social lives. The group meets weekly and is accepting new members.
