About Nate’s Space 


I’m Nathan (Nate) Garland, a Board-Certified music therapist (BC-MT) with a passion for creating personalized, meaningful musical experiences. With years of experience in diverse settings—pediatric, adolescent, adult disability, and geriatric—I’ve seen firsthand how music can transform lives. My approach is client-centered, combining evidence-based practices with creativity and empathy to meet each individual’s unique needs.

I have a passion for blending music and science to support personal growth and well-being. I hold a Master of Music Therapy from the University of Melbourne in Australia, a Jazz Performance Certificate from Humber Polytechnic, and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Mount Allison University. My diverse academic and musical background shapes my evidence-based, creative approach to therapy, ensuring personalized care for each client.

At Nate’s Space, I offer:

  • Individual Music Therapy Sessions: One-on-one sessions tailored to your goals, whether they involve improving emotional well-being, enhancing communication, or supporting cognitive and physical rehabilitation.
  • Group Music Therapy Sessions: Engaging group experiences that foster connection, teamwork, and self-expression through collaborative music-making.
  • Mobile Services: I bring music therapy to you, whether at your home, school, workplace, or community center, ensuring accessibility and convenience.

Music therapy is for everyone. Whether you're looking to manage stress, support recovery, or find new ways to express yourself, I’ll work with you to create a safe and supportive space for your journey.
