Music Therapy
Healing Notes, Harmonious Souls.
Music therapy is an evidence-based treatment that aims to positively impact the participant in the areas of attention, emotion, cognition, behavior, and communication.
Music Matters.
Music therapy has been shown to reduce anxiety and stress, reduce symptoms of depression and other psychological disorders, and improve self-expression and communication.
Within NW Works’ Music Therapy program, individuals have three goals:
-
To increase positive peer social interactions among group participants
-
To increase emotional self-awareness and expression
-
To increase decision making skills, self-motivation, and initiative
Our licensed music therapist, Allison Terrell, tracks these goals and provides progress reports to our Director of Therapeutic Programs to ensure all participating individuals are having positive therapeutic outcomes.
