About Me

Hi! I am Linoy Yechieli, a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) based in Portland, Oregon. I have a background in mental health rehabilitation, special education, and private practice. I hold a Master’s degree in music therapy and have worked with children, teens, and adults navigating emotional regulation, trauma, developmental differences, and life transitions.

As both a clinician and a musician, I believe music meets us where words sometimes cannot. My approach is relational, creative, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I strive to create a space that feels safe, collaborative, and centered, where clients can explore, express, and grow at their own pace.

Through songwriting, musical improvisation, receptive music experiences, and structured therapeutic interventions, my goal is to help each person reconnect with their voice, both musically and emotionally. 

FAQ

No.

You do not need to sing well, play an instrument, or have rhythm. Music therapy is about expression, regulation, and connection. Talent is not required.

If you’re unsure whether music therapy is right for you, I’m happy to connect for a brief consultation.

What does a session look like?

Every session is individualized.

Some clients sing or write songs.
Some prefer listening and processing lyrics.
Some use rhythm for grounding.
Some barely “make music” at all — and that’s okay.

You do not need musical experience. This is therapy, not performance.
