🎵 What is Music Therapy? 🎵
Music therapy is an established health profession that uses music to meet the physical, emotional, cognitive, and social needs of children, youth, and adults of all abilities.✨
At WCMS, our sessions are led by Shayla McDermott, a trained, certified music therapist and work toward specific goals, including:
🎶 Promoting expressive and receptive communication
🎶 Developing fine and gross motor coordination
🎶 Improving attention skills
🎶 Providing a healthy outlet for emotions
🎶 Creating a safe space to explore feelings through active music-making
Whether it's singing, listening, moving, or playing, music therapy meets each participant exactly where they are. 💙
Music therapy sessions may be covered by health insurance. so check with your provider, or reach out to us directly for more info (link in bio).
