Youth and Teen Music Therapy services in windsor, ct

Music therapy sessions utilize music to support individuals facing cognitive, social, emotional, behavioral, physical, medical, or mental health challenges. In sessions, our clinicians use a variety of live and recorded music, various instruments, rhythmic movement, music technology, and sensory and visual aids to help clients achieve their individualized goals and objectives in an individual or group setting. All music therapy sessions must be facilitated by a board-certified music therapist.

From newborn to legacy care, anyone can benefit from music therapy. We typically work with individuals with developmental disabilities, mental and behavioral health disorders, progressive diseases, and/or medical disorders and injuries.

In Connecticut, music therapy services are not currently covered by insurance. Music therapy costs can, however, be paid with a Health Savings Account (HSA). Some individuals have music therapy funded through government services such as, but not limited to, the Department of Developmental Services or the Department of Children and Families.

At Melodic Goals, our music therapy service costs are priced by the time and frequency of services. We offer 30, 45, and 60 minute services at a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly frequency. Prices increase annually and start at $60 per session for one individual.
