Tidewater Music Therapy

"I receive services for my special needs daughter. She loves music, so I thought music therapy would be a benefit for her, and I was so right! She is now starting to say words within songs and sing along. It has also helped her use her hands, bang drums, shake things, etc. which she had an aversion to previously. Danielle, her therapist, has been patient and kind to her for years with what seemed like very little progress at some points. Because of her perseverance and kindness to my daughter, we are now seeing the fruits of our labor and we can tell she has been learning things all along! Tidewater Music Therapy has been such a blessing to our family!"

"We highly recommend Tidewater Music Therapy. Our non verbal adult son has shown so much growth socially, in communication, self-regulation, and more. Not only that, he is so happy to go. It's not just that he loves hearing and making music, he feels sincerely valued, supported and encouraged. Every session has been warm and welcoming. He is challenged to try new things but feels comfortable with his therapist Danielle. She plans his sessions working to his strengths. She gives him choices and introduces new skills in a balanced, meaningful progression. Danielle is so cheerful and person-centered. She seems to enjoy working with him despite any of his difficult behaviors. Danielle is talented, dedicated, professional and committed to all her clients and our experience with TMT has been such a blessing. Music Therapy is life changing! Our son takes private lessons during the school year, and also loves weekly group sessions in the summer. The therapists are flexible, punctual, extremely well-prepared, bring high quality instruments, and they truly individualize their session plans to meet the needs of each client. As parents we feel music therapy sessions are a worthwhile investment, developing in our son important life skills, plus self confidence and JOY."

"Tidewater Music Therapy has worked wonders for our mostly nonverbal grandson. Since he began therapy, he has grown in his vocalizations, his connections to reality, and his interaction with other humans.This therapy is priceless! His therapists are patient, loving, and kind. If I could give 10 stars, I would."

"Absolutely the best music therapists we've worked with! It's plain to see how much they care for their clients. They put in so much time and effort and the results speak for themselves. Our son has shown so much progress in the last year and that is in large part to Megan and the TMT team!"

"Tidewater Music Therapy is the best! Our son has been receiving music therapy with Megan for the past year and it has changed his life. His vocabulary is greatly expanding and he is better at emotional regulation. It helps with his anxiety. We are so thankful for Tidewater Music Therapy and recommend them to all!"
