Music Therapist

Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music intervention to accomplish individualized goals by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. Music Therapy is an established health profession in which music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. After assessing the strengths and needs of each client, a qualified music therapist provides the indicated treatment.

Indicated treatments might include creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music. Through music involvement in the therapeutic context, clients’ abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Music therapy also provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research supports music therapy’s effectiveness in many areas such as: overall physical rehabilitation and facilitating movement, increasing people’s motivation to become engaged in their treatment, providing emotional support for clients and their families, and providing an outlet for expression of feelings and non-verbal communication.
