We are partnering with Creative Minds Music Therapy to provide music therapy services.
Creative Minds MT was started by Antonietta Mongillo Desideri, music therapist, registered psychotherapist in 2010, and has been serving the Durham Region since 2013. Creative Minds MT consists of several music therapist, that offers a variety of specialized services to meet the needs of individuals and groups.
Our services include custom designed programs to meet the individual needs of our clients. We offer both group and single sessions, at varying lengths of time, where we introduce the use of different musical instruments for therapeutic purposes.
After outlining personal goal areas, our therapists implement a treatment plan and provide ongoing evaluation to track progress. This allows for adjustments to be made along the way ensuring accurate treatment with noticeable results.
Examples of interventions include: singing and vocalization, educational/instructional songs, movement & music, music for self-regulation, music for socialization, song-writing & lyric analysis, and music discussion.
Music therapy offers an approach that differs from others : the use of music as a motivator and a successful way to engage children and teens.
Developmentally, most children respond very well to different interventions using music, and each program would be tailored to your child's needs and strengths.
In music psychotherapy, music can be a wonderful way to access and explore feelings, or a good creative addition to talk therapy.
