Individual Music Therapy

Tailored, one-on-one sessions are built to meet specific needs which can include assisting memory, cognition and orientation, enhancing imagination and cultural identity, providing support when processing change, crisis and bereavement. These sessions can be effective in motivating physical rehabilitation, communication and social skills. Music therapy is suitable for clients of all ages and abilities.

Sessions for Family Members
