Hello, I’m Eric.
I deeply believe every person has an innate capacity for healing. My role is to help you reconnect with that inner wisdom so you can grow, shift, and feel more at home in yourself. My clinical training, certifications, and lived experiences all shape the intuitive, attuned way I work with clients.
My work blends somatic therapy, attachment therapy, mindfulness, sound/music therapy, and when appropriate, psychedelic integration. I support individuals, couples, and groups who want to update old attachment patterns, deepen somatic awareness, and create meaningful change.
My practice, Sound + Nature, involves two main approaches:
1) Restoring your own authentic Nature through exploration and integration of the various parts of your personality and identity.
2) Using sound and other somatic approaches to regulate and restore the nervous system.
Sessions can take place indoors, online, or outdoors in nature.
My Experience
I hold a Master’s in Music Therapy from NYU, am a Board Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC), and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT). I am also certified in DARe (Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning), integrating somatic and attachment work for deeper trauma resolution. My trauma imformed approach was profoundly shaped by a decade of work in foster care and with children on the autism spectrum, as well as a Fulbright Senior Research Scholarship in Kolkata, India.
In my private practice, I offer individual psychotherapy and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP), having facilitated over 400 KAP sessions—an effort recognized with Journey Clinical’s Trailblazer Award. Above all, my focus remains on helping clients gain personal clarity, self-understanding, and sustainable growth.
My therapeutic approach integrates talk therapy with somatic, experiential, and creative practices. Drawing on extensive clinical experience and training, I provide a grounded environment to support personal growth, insight, and lasting change.
My foundation in music spans nearly twenty years studying North Indian classical music in the traditional Guru-Shishya Parampara lineage under the late Pandit Gopal Roy. This training deeply informs my use of tone, rhythm, and breath as somatic therapeutic tools.
Outside the clinic, I am a musician, lover of nature and I am a parent, raising my children alongside my wife, Ruthie Fraser, founder of Body Rewilding.

A Musical Beginning
Eric Fraser - Bansuri flute meastro
Eric Fraser's training in Indian classical music on the bansuri flute occurred in the Guru-Sishya Parampara tradition, meaning that he received training while living with his Guru Pandit Gopal Roy, in Kolkata, India. Eric has received extensive taleem (oral teachings), and his flute playing conveys the purity of tone, authenticity, and tradition of his gharana or “lineage”. Eric Fraser’s lineage has a unique place in the landscape of Indian music, telling the story of an old-world Kolkata through a gayaki ang or "singing style" of bansuri flute. Within his lineage are stalwarts such as Pannalal Ghosh, Gour Goswami, and renowned vocalist Ustad Amir Khan. Eric’s dynamic musicality allows for seamless playing across classical, innovative, and fusion projects.
Eric Fraser is also a multi-instrumentalist, composer, and recording artist. Eric's original music expresses the contours of a true cross-cultural blending of Indian classical music, long-form instrumental music, and indie songwriting. He is a Board Certified Music Therapist (MT-BC) and a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT). Eric is a co-founder of the Brooklyn Raga Massive and a Fulbright Senior Research Scholar for Indian classical music.
