Enjoying bongos in Music Therapy

Music Therapy

Music is an important part of life. People use music to learn their ABCs, exercise, work, and enjoy the world. Our board-certified Music Therapists use these qualities of music to help people meet their individual goals. These goals include:
  • Learning and Memory
  • Social Engagement
  • Emotional Regulation
  • Attention and Decision-Making
  • Movement and Communication

Music Therapy sessions begin at $35/half-hour. Group prices may vary. Financial assistance for those in need may be available.
