Music Therapy Services
We currently offer music therapy for adult and elderly populations facing challenges related to aging and injury. This can include physical and mental deterioration due to age or physical injury. Social and emotional changes are of equal concern in these cases, and a holistic approach is needed for the best outcomes.
