Music therapy is a mental health profession that enriches the lives of individuals, families, and communities through creating, singing, moving to, and/or listening to music. Services are provided by board-certified music therapists (MT-BC). Through musical involvement in the therapeutic relationship, clients’ abilities are strengthened and transferred to other areas of their lives. Research in music therapy supports that the musical process helps people to manage stress, alleviate pain, enhance memory, develop interpersonal skills, promote physical rehabilitation, and increase self-esteem and self-awareness. Music therapy provides avenues for communication that can be helpful to those who find it difficult to express themselves in words.
