Support Staff: Music Therapist

Welcome Music Therapists! Music Therapists provide treatment for physical, psychological, cognitive, and social needs of individuals through the structured and specialized use of music. Music therapists assess emotional well-being, physical health, social functioning, communication abilities, and cognitive skills through musical responses. They design music sessions for individuals and groups based on client needs. These sessions may include music improvisation, receptive music listening, song writing, discussion of lyrics, music and imagery, music performance, and learning through music. Music therapists participate in treatment planning, ongoing evaluation, and follow-up.   Music Therapists Associations: American Music Therapy Association, Inc.
