The Music Therapy process is involved in interpersonal interactions manifested during the service and which can be seen in collective music making, in dialogues, gestures, in bodily expressions and through musical experiences. This research aims to investigate how music therapists understand musical, verbal and non-verbal interactions as elements of the therapeutic process to alleviate the psychological distress of patients assisted in groups, in the area of mental health. This is a qualitative and exploratory research. Data collection was performed using semi-structured characteristics with music therapists who have experience in the field of mental health. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed with the Braun and Clarke Thematic Analysis. The analysis showed that the interactions in Mental Health group work allow the construction of a safe environment for the expressivity and protagonism by participants in their music therapy process, capable, also, of developing social bonds among group members.
