Florida Music Therapy employs a humanistic and person-centered care model using trauma informed and culturally responsive care. We use these frameworks to assess and address the needs of each client, create a safe, supportive, and accommodating environment, and provide respectful and compassionate care. Participants are engaged in treatment with safety, choice, trustworthiness/transparency, and empowerment. Our participants’ safety, wellness, and dignity are the center of treatment. Clinical techniques and uses are individualized and backed by the current evidence-based trends of research, all pending approval of clients’ choice and informed consent.

In 2021, Florida Music Therapy served 88 participants. 95% did not pay any out of pocket costs, 5% were on a sliding scale based on income. 0% paid full price for music therapy services.

Our team consists of 11 music therapists and 5 rotating interns. We work together to be the best music therapists we can be by creating an environment of respect and empowerment and without competition. We meet weekly to troubleshoot issues that arise in our sessions and learn from each other. Each quarter, we meet for a non-musical team building or community service event. We value self-care, community involvement, creativity, education, and team work.
