Congratulations on choosing to take care of yourself by reaching out! My name is Terri Courts-Kasprzak and I am Board Certified Music Therapist and a NYS Licensed Creative Arts Therapist. I specialize in treating individuals 18+ with chronic illnesses, difficulty managing stress, anxiety and challenging life transitions, I also have 25 years experience treating older adults with cognitive impairments.
When someone is struggling with their mental health or any chronic illness, finding ways to express their experience is crucial to growth and healing. Evidenced based music interventions can increase self expression, somatic awareness and build effective coping skills like mindfulness. For individuals with dementia, interventions can stimulate alternative neuropathways not affected by dementia allowing individuals to connect to their memories, loved ones, their identity and personhood.
Clients can expect to leave sessions with a deeper understanding of themselves, a strengthening of their own “voice” and a healthier perspective on their reality and future.
