The American Music Therapy Association and Certification Board of Music Therapists (2021), define music therapy as “the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized goals for people of all ages and ability levels within a therapeutic relationship by a credentialed professional who has completed an approved music therapy program. A music therapist is an individual who has completed the education and clinical training requirements established by the American Music Therapy Association (AMTA) and who holds current board certification from The Certification Board for Music Therapists (CBMT).“

Meridian Music Therapy LLC was founded upon two basic principles, first, that all people possess musical ability no matter to what degree that it has been developed. Second, that music is an organic part of the holistic human experience and holds vast potential for accessing and expressing ideas and emotions that are otherwise inexpressible through language. Meridian Music Therapy LLC pledges transparency, respect, and integrity to our clients supporting the fundamental belief of empowering individuals with the ability to effect positive change and the right to be validated as one’s authentic self.
