Creative Vibes Music Therapy
Music as a Modality
In mental and behavioral health settings, board-certified music therapists (MT-BCs) use music as the primary modality for therapeutic change. Through music, clients are guided through creative, experiential ways to access, identify, organize, express, and communicate their internal experiences.
The somatic, reflective, symbolic, relational, and identity-based aspects of musicking can assist individuals in developing tools for insight, agency, adaptive coping, and community involvement.
Our MT-BCs assess the clinical factors that influence overall well-being, curate a supportive and nurturing therapeutic relationship with clients, and collaborate closely with treatment teams to support shared, evidence-based treatment goals.
