Creativity Coaching for Musicians, by Andrew Schwartz

August 3, 2007  ·  Category: Integral, Music, Reviews

Regular readers of Mudita Journal and Mudita Forum are already familiar with Andrew Schwartz.

I’ve enjoyed his contributions here for many years now, because he’s one of those rare souls who lives and breathes the stuff of psychology, creativity, and personal growth.

To my delight and hearty encouragement, he has begun offering his services widely as a therapist — both as a personal coach and by providing creativity coaching for musicians.

To be clear, Andrew has been working as a therapist and personal coach for a long while now. But now he’s decided to offer his services to clients around the country, via phone consultations.

I just wrote the following recommendation for his LinkedIn profile:

Andrew has rare gift as a therapist: he understands, natively, how change operates. He’s a careful student of human nature, can be keenly insightful, and knows how to provoke real growth.

I’ve observed Andrew’s skills on many occasions during the men’s retreats we’ve attended together. Given my own background in psychology, six years as a graduate student in clinical psych, I’m acutely aware of how many therapists lack the natural talent for inspiring change. Wanting to help, even when you’re trained to help, is not the same as being naturally talented at the craft. Some people just have the juice.

In this respect, I would put Andrew in the top 1% of therapists I know. I would recommend his services for anyone who wants help evolving to the next level — whether creatively, personally, or in a relationship.

I look forward to watching Andrew’s client base grow, as more and more people come to know what I know about him.
