Melissa was my supervisor throughout my music therapy internship and continued to offer her guidance during my first year as a practitioner. Melissa is so easy to talk to! She is a wonderful listener and provides great clinical insight based upon her years of experience in the field. Melissa played a huge role in my development as a therapist. Not only did she amplify my strengths, but she also encouraged me to challenge myself and to reflect on my own therapeutic approach. She taught me a lot about data collection, goal-driven session planning, problem solving skills, flexibility, and how my presence in sessions can impact client response. I am so grateful to have been able to receive her support and advice. Melissa has such a big heart and truly cares about helping others. I highly recommend her services!
Melissa was my supervisor during my music therapy internship, and then a colleague of mine for several years. She taught me a great deal about presence in the therapeutic space, problem solving skills, and data-driven intervention planning. Melissa was always available to lend a listening ear and give advice when I needed it, but she also encouraged me to lean into my own therapeutic knowledge and skillset to make decisions that were true to me and my practice. I look up to Melissa in a lot of ways and know that her inclination to help others continues to shine, even outside the music therapy treatment space. She is supportive, kind, and genuine and someone whose advice is something I will always value.
