Music Therapy
We use MUSIC to help you achieve many different types of GOALS!
Communication
Social Emotional
Physical
Sensory
Other Goals
A music therapy session may look like singing, moving, and playing instruments together – but there is so much more happening! We are connecting and creating a therapeutic relationship. We may be using the rhythmic and melodic properties of music to encourage speech or the vibrotactile components to promote relaxation. No matter the goal – music makes it easier because it is fun and motivating!
Clinical music therapy is the only professional, research-based discipline that actively applies supportive science to the creative, emotional, and energizing experiences of music for health treatment and educational goals. –American Music Therapy Association
Lisa earned her Music Therapy degree from the University of Iowa in 1998 and has worked with a wide variety of individuals, including autistic children, children and adults with developmental delays and/or physical impairments, and older adults in nursing care and hospice.
