Music Therapy 

Teen Group

Individual music therapy sessions are available in our Mount Prospect studio for children and adults seeking to address goals in communication, academics, social skills, motor functioning, self-expression, sensory stimulation and integration, reality orientation, or pain management.  Music therapy can also be used to decrease anxiety and teach relaxation skills. Treatment begins with a free intake evaluation to determine client strengths and needs and assess the potential for the use of music therapy.
