Music Therapy

Using music interventions to address therapeutic goals

Music therapy is a clinical and evidence-based practice that uses music to address the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of individuals. Through the guided use of musical activities like playing instruments, singing, and listening, our board-certified music therapist helps individuals improve their well-being, manage stress, and enhance their quality of life. This therapeutic approach is beneficial for people of all ages.
