What is Music Therapy?
Music therapy is a clinical and evidence-based practice that uses music to promote healing, enhance well-being, and improve quality of life. Our trained music therapists design personalized interventions that incorporate music listening, singing, instrument playing, songwriting, and improvisation to address a variety of physical, emotional, cognitive, and social challenges. Sessions can target specific goals, such as improving communication skills, reducing anxiety, enhancing memory, or developing motor coordination. Music therapy is effective for people of all ages, from children with developmental disabilities to older adults with dementia. By tapping into the therapeutic power of music, individuals can gain emotional expression, build resilience, and experience a deeper sense of connection to themselves and others.
Inside every person is a song that deserves to be heard.
Our music therapy program uses the power of music to support healing, expression, and overall well-being. Guided by certified music therapists, sessions may include listening, singing, playing instruments, or songwriting—each tailored to drive neuroplasticity and psychosocial well-being to meet individual goals. Music can reduce stress, improve mood, enhance communication, and support physical movement and coordination.
Our music therapists work closely with the entire rehab team in a collaborative manner to address the goals of individual using evidence-based techniques. Whether that’s learning to walk again, restore upper extremity function, improve posture, or facilitate breath support for communication, music can play a vital role in the recovery process.
