Onlin...

Today- the first one ever- and I'll be celebrating by heading, just as I do every other week, to my therapist's office. Why? Because I firmly believe getting my own therapy is an important part of my job as a music therapist. Above getting our own therapy? One of the (many) reasons I loved the HBO show In Treatment.

The Mindful Music Therapist. Conversations about music therapy. Wednesday, February 11, 2015. Why it was hard for me to participate in this year's social media advocacy month.
