Client Family Testimonial:
“Music Therapy has been such a gift to our family. My 3-year-old son, who has Down syndrome, absolutely lights up when it’s time for his sessions. He looks forward to it every week and always ends in a good mood. His therapist has a special way of connecting with him - encouraging him to sing, dance, and make gestures in a way that feels like play. It’s not just therapy; it’s fun, engaging, educational, and truly uplifting.”

As part of our mission to expand access to music therapy services across northwestern Wisconsin, we offer virtual music therapy services. Virtual sessions can remove distance barriers to in-person sessions and allow for extra scheduling flexibility. These services look similar to in-person sessions and offer comparable therapeutic outcomes and benefits through playing instruments, songwriting, music and movement, music listening, lyric discussions, and more. Virtual services ensure that clients can receive the support they need, no matter where they live.
Virtual sessions are delivered via a secure, private video conferencing platform.
