Your Healing Begins With a Note
Discover the Transformative Power of Music Therapy
In cultures across time and the world, music has been used to express and experience our humanity. In life’s most challenging moments, music has a unique power to heal, strengthen, and comfort. The profession of music therapy’s evidence-based practice enhances its recipients’ physical, emotional, cognitive, social, and spiritual well-being.
At Central Virginia Music Therapy, board-certified music therapist Stephanie Surber specializes in providing holistic and personalized music therapy services to clients, caregivers, medical and educational professionals alike.
Why Music Therapy?
Music therapy is more than just feel-good music. It’s a clinically proven method using evidence-based music interventions to accomplish individualized goals within the context of a therapeutic relationship.
In simpler terms, a music therapist and client use evidence-based music experiences together as the tool for therapeutic change.
By incorporating music therapy into care plans, clients have experienced significant improvements in areas of pain management, stress reduction, emotional and spiritual exploration and expression, and more, with an overarching improvement in quality of life.
