Music Therapy

Music therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to achieve individualized goals. It is facilitated by a credentialed professional within a therapeutic relationship. During a music therapy session, the client and music therapist collaborate to address emotional, cognitive, social, communicative, psychological, and spiritual goals through various musical interventions. No prior musical experience is necessary to participate in and benefit from music therapy!
