What is EIMT?
Emotion-regulating improvisational music therapy (EIMT) is a treatment program in which you create music together with a music therapist. You don't need to know music or have any experience. It's not about playing well, but about what the music evokes in you and how you learn to regulate your emotions. The therapist tunes to your playing; you remain in control.
The repetitive nature of collaborative improvisations on cello, marimba, or djembe makes it increasingly easier to regulate emotions and feel different or better. Homework, developed together with the therapist, also helps you apply this to your daily life.

Music therapy
With Emotion-regulating improvisational music therapy (EIMT), we treat adults by making music together and reflecting, so that they can regulate their emotions in a healthier way and reduce depressive symptoms.
We offer individual and small-scale group treatments with clear goals, a relaxed pace, and simple home-based work in consultation.
For whom
Emotion-regulating improvisational music therapy (EIMT) is a treatment program for young people, adults and the elderly with depressive complaints.
How it works
During EIMT, you improvise on cello, marimba, or djembe. The music therapist tunes in to your needs. Through improvisation and reflection, emotional regulation improves and depressive symptoms are reduced.
Getting acquainted
During your application, we will discuss together whether EIMT is suitable at that time or whether other care is more appropriate.
