"(Music Therapy) can make the difference between withdrawal and awareness, between isolation and interaction, between chronic pain and comfort -- between demoralization and dignity."

WHAT IS MUSIC THERAPY?
Music Therapy is 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. We provide Music Therapy services through the CLASS Program and YES Waiver Program, and we are also a TEFA-approved provider.
Music Therapy is an established health profession in which music is used within a therapeutic relationship to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. After assessing the strengths and needs of each client, the qualified music therapist provides the indicated treatment, including creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music.
Through musical 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 individuals who find it difficult to express themselves in words. Research in Music Therapy supports its effectiveness in areas such as physical rehabilitation and movement, increasing motivation and engagement in treatment, providing emotional support for clients and their families, and offering an outlet for the expression of feelings.
Our therapists are willing to travel to serve clients in many settings and most importantly in a space where the client is the most comfortable and that is often the most convenient for caregivers and families.
Many of the most pressing issues for clients are centered around home routines. Building new skills in a client's own natural environment(s) help them stick. Learn more here.
