Music therapy is the evidence-based use of music to address emotional and social needs, and can include creating music or singing, as well as moving or listening to music. Music therapy can frequently provide a useful way of communicating for people who have difficulty expressing themselves in words. At Croyle-Nielsen, we offer music therapy to a wide range of clients as a supplement to their overall treatment program to help them express feelings and provide emotional support.
