What is Music and Art Therapy?
According to the American Music Therapy Association "Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program."
Per the American Art Therapy Association:
“Creative Arts Therapists are mental health professionals who use arts-based interventions and creative processes for optimizing mental health and wellness. They are trained and credentialed according to their distinct profession and each Creative Arts Therapy field is governed by a separate professional association with a unique scope of practice.”
Simply put, Music and Art Therapists use music and art to reach non-creative objectives relating to social, behavioral, emotional, cognitive, physical, spiritual and holistic goals.
If you need counseling, seek a professional mental health counselor. Some of our music & art therapists are also LMFTs and LCSWs.
