Individual Music Therapy

Individual Music Therapy

One on one music therapy sessions are 30 to 60 minute sessions with the music therapist to address specific goals and objectives. This service is tailored to the needs of the individual and extensive documentation is tracked throughout treatment. This service is appropriate for any age and population. 

Adaptive Music Lessons

Adaptive lessons are for individuals who may not have success using traditional teaching methods. By using the unique skill set of a music therapist, individuals with disabilities may learn an instrument. Some teaching methods include color coding, large note music, adaptive mallets, and assistive technology. Instruments offered at this time are piano, guitar, ukulele, and violin. Instrument not included. 

Guided Imagery and Music

GIM is transformational depth work that uses classical music programs to process work in a relaxed non-ordinary state. While being guided by a trained therapist, the client will experience images or sensations that will lead to the release of emotions and helpful resolutions. People seek GIM as an expressive and alternative way to heal from trauma and loss, and to assist in self-acceptance and awakening. Sessions will last about 75 minutes and may include processing through art or journaling.

Assessments

All clients who are interested in individual music therapy are required to have an assessment done before services begin. An assessment includes a 30-45 minute session to assess the client’s needs and music preferences. A 15 minute consultation with the music therapist is included, as well as extensive documentation. This session is essential in determining if the client is appropriate for music therapy, as well as goals and objectives tailored to the client’s needs.
