What is music therapy?
Music therapists use music to achieve non-musical goals. For example, common goals in music therapy sessions focus on sensory, motor, emotional, physical, cognitive, or behavioral needs.
Music therapists often use music, instruments, and movement to engage and connect with clients to reach goals important to the client and family.
Finally, practicing music therapy requires a therapist to completea degree program approved by the American Music Therapy Association, 1,200 clinical hours, and a certification board for music therapists.
Who can participate?
Our music therapy services in Woodland Park are open to many different populations. Resonate often sees individuals on the Autism spectrum, with Down Syndrome, sensory processing disorders, grief and bereavement, Traumatic Brain Injury, CVA (stroke), and genetic or physical disorders. As part of our therapy services, we will perform an assessment session to inform a personalized treatment plan focused on specified goals and objectives.
We love to reiterate that you do not have to be a musician to participate in music therapy!
More about Music Therapy in Woodland Park
Resonate Music Therapy has been working in Colorado Springs for over six years. Now, we’re pleased to expand our range to include Woodland Park. But no matter where you receive services, we promise to stick to our core values.
At Resonate Music Therapy, we address mental health needs with compassionate care. Whether you’re looking for a more direct therapist who easily rolls with humor and sarcasm, or someone who can gently walk with you through painful trauma, we will work with you to find the right therapist at Resonate, or refer you to someone within the community.
One common misunderstanding about music therapy is:
“This is a therapy for musicians, or those that are musically inclined. I can’t carry a tune in a bucket, so this isn’t for me”.
Not true! We are simply using music as a medium for processing- the therapist brings the musical expertise, whether leading a songwriting exercise that helps you identify key themes in your life, helping put together and implement a playlist you can use for moments when you’re overwhelmed throughout the week, or using joint improvisation to explore and verbally process complex emotions.
Many teenagers and adults find that working with a music therapist can be a really accessible way to work on learning healthy coping tools, navigating tough life transitions, dealing with life stressors, or processing past trauma.
