About Music Therapy
Music Therapy is an established health profession in which a Board-Certified music therapist utilizes music within a therapeutic relationship to achieve wellness goals in areas of needs such as:
physical
emotional
cognitive
social
spiritual
As a music therapist, I utilize different elements and therapeutic approaches in my sessions from my training as a social worker & a music therapist. Those elements include:
talking
providing psychoeducation (mental health education)
exploring feelings & thoughts through music
creating art or new songs
engaging in movement
practicing journaling
songwriting
mindfulness
You don’t need to be an artist, a musician, or have had musical experience to fully benefit from music therapy sessions. In fact, the majority of my clients do not consider themselves to be artistic, although many have a meaningful connection to the music they listen to.
What Happens During A Music Therapy Session?
“What happens during a music therapy session?” or “What does a music therapy session look like?” are two of the most common questions I get asked when we talk about music therapy.
Why Music Therapy?
In therapy, Board Certified Music Therapists (MT-BC) utilize music as an outlet for emotional expression, as a tool to explore personal feelings and as a way to gain personal insight & resilience.
I’m not currently accepting music therapy clients; accepting new counseling clients in Florida only. Contact me here to inquire about music therapy and get on the waitlist.
