KJ Dillardis finding healing through his new music … telling TMZ he’s “doing really good” after receiving mental health treatment following the most recent “Summer House” season.

We got the reality star out in NYC this week, and he told our photog he’s been working on himself, learning a lot, and practicing patience and grace as he navigates life after his mental health struggles.

KJ says music is a form of therapy for him … helping him mentally and emotionally as he navigates this chapter in his life.

As we reported, KJ revealed during the Season 10 reunion that he was hospitalized for about a week shortly after filming wrapped due to self-harm. He told Andy Cohen at the time that doctors diagnosed him with BPD and said he had previously run from his problems instead of confronting them.

Now, KJ tells us he’s trying to break that pattern. While he says he still likes to stay busy and distract himself, he says sitting with himself has become the most important part of his progress.

And he’s not doing it alone … KJ says Ciara Millerand Mia Calabresehave remained super supportive, along with everyone else in his circle.

Ciara and Mia previously showed up for KJ during his hospitalization.

KJ’s newly released song and video, “Girls In NY,” is meant to mark a lighter, more celebratory moment after such a heavy time. He says the upbeat dance track comes from a bird’s-eye view, inspired by people around him rather than his own direct experiences.

And, he’s got a major collaboration on the way too … KJ has a new song coming out with DEV, the singer behind the 2010 smash hit, “Like a G6.”
