Music Therapy

Music therapy unites the fields of music and therapy to provide a creative treatment and medium. More specifically, music therapy combines music modalities with humanistic, psychodynamic, behavioral, and biomedical approaches to help clients attain therapeutic goals. These goals can be mental, physical, emotional, social, and/or spiritual in nature. Problems or needs are addressed both through the therapeutic relationship between the client and music therapist, as well as approached directly through the music itself.
