Music Therapist

**********NEW WAVE IS HIRING ACROSS THE STATE OF INDIANA**********

Music therapy is one of the services offered by New Wave Wellness. Here, music is used in a healing context to attend to the whole individual, from their physiological to their mental to their social requirements. Since music therapy is already recognized as a medical specialty, it must be provided by a credentialed professional. After gathering information about the individual, our music therapist creates a treatment strategy tailored specifically to them. Activities in this plan involve musical expressions such as creating, performing, or appreciating music. Through participation in music with our music therapist, a patient’s skills are strengthened and transferred to other areas of life. Music therapy can help those who have trouble finding the right words to express themselves by providing them with a new way to connect with others and with themselves. 

Music therapy has been shown to be beneficial in a variety of contexts, including boosting motivation to engage in medical care and fostering a sense of community among care providers and patients. After assessing the client’s needs and interests, New Wave Wellness develops a treatment plan specifically for them. We use music as a tool for healing by instructing patients in techniques for self-soothing, expressing feelings, decreasing discomfort, etc. Appointment duration often varies from person to person based on their requirements. Meeting durations can be adjusted to fit everyone's budget and need. There are many examples of music’s use in medical and mental health care settings, as well as in spiritual and cultural contexts. Our therapists are dedicated to providing consistent, high-quality care and keeping the client’s support group informed of their progress on a frequent basis.
