What's the future for the organization?
At Piedmont Music Therapy (PMT), the future is centered on growth, accessibility, and deeper community impact. Rooted in our mission to engage, empower, and accompany individuals through music therapy and education, we are committed to expanding our services and strengthening our presence across Mecklenburg and York counties and beyond.
Expanding Our Space and Services
As our client base grows, so does our need for a larger, more inclusive clinic and studio. Our strategic plan includes securing a new facility that offers adequate space for therapy sessions, group programs, and professional development opportunities. This expanded location will allow us to better meet the needs of our diverse clients and provide a welcoming environment for healing, creativity, and connection.
Improving Access to Services
We recognize a critical funding gap for individuals over the age of 21 seeking music therapy. As part of our future goals, we are actively increasing fundraising efforts to provide financial support for these clients. With additional funding, we can ensure that more individuals, regardless of age or financial means, can benefit from the healing power of music therapy. Additionally, we would like to establish a dedicated fund to provide music therapy support for 1:1 music therapy services for children in foster care.
Investing in Team and Operations
To respond more efficiently to increasing inquiries and service demands, we aim to grow our administrative and clinical team. Additional operational staff will enhance our day-to-day operations, allowing our growing team of therapists to focus on what they do best—providing high-quality, personalized care through music therapy.
Strengthening Community Partnerships and Volunteer Support
We’re committed to deepening our partnerships with local organizations, including schools, nonprofits, and healthcare providers, to broaden access to services. Additionally, we are seeking dedicated volunteers to serve on our Board of Directors and sub-committees. Their insights and leadership will help guide our strategic direction and enhance our accountability to the community we proudly serve.
As PMT continues to connect, play, and grow, we remain focused on our vision of a healthier, more inclusive community supported through the transformative power of music therapy. With your support, we’re building a future where music continues to be a bridge—connecting people to healing, empowerment, and each other.
