Is music therapy right for me?
WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY?
An Evidence-Based Approach to Wellness through Music
The American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) defines music therapy as the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program.
Through listening to, composing, improvising, or re-creating music together, the music therapist can work with clients to identify, establish, and pursue personal goals of a cognitive, emotional, physical, social, or spiritual nature.
WHO DO YOU CURRENTLY SERVE?
Adults and teenagers who need support dealing with difficult emotions and experiences.
DO I HAVE TO BE A MUSICIAN TO BE INÂ MUSIC THERAPY?
NO! Many people I have worked with have no musical experience and don't even like to sing in the shower. This has had no impact on their level of benefit from music therapy. You only need to be open to the experience that I provide. Some people never touch an instrument or sing in session with me, for example.
