What happens in music therapy?
Music therapy involves multiple types of music experiences and interventions! Your therapist will work with you to determine what goals you will work on together. Sessions can include instrument playing, singing, music listening, improvisation, song writing, and more to address your non-musical goals.
Who can be a music therapist?
Music therapists attend a four-year degree program and complete a six-month full time internship before taking the national board certification exam. Both Mary and Marisa are board-certified music therapists with many years of experience.
