MUSIC THERAPY Group SERVICES
Individuals who may have disorders such as anxiety or autism, conditions such as intellectual and developmental delay or rare & undiagnosed diseases are welcomed to begin the intake process. These groups are for clients of varying ages (grouped with peers of similar chronological age) to connect and share a creative space together. Music making and experiencing in a social setting is what we provide. A music therapist leading the group promotes individualized goals within a group setting and documents each session accordingly. Enrollment includes completion of Intake Paperwork in order to schedule an individual music therapy assessment. After a music therapy assessment is completed then group services may be recommended and registration is completed. The assessment with one of our music therapists ensures appropriate group pairing and allows our clinicians to monitor goals/objectives to thus provide treatment reports to families.
Group Series: $180/client (covering 6 sessions - each group length is 30 minutes). 50% of group cost will requested electronically on first date of group series. Treatment cost is reimbursed only for illness or emergency per PMT Policies.
