Creative Arts Therapy for Adults
It recently came to my attention that when you look around our website, it is pretty clear that we offer services for children, but it is not as obvious that we offer services for adults. I think one of the reasons for this is that on our Instagram, Facebook, and other social media pages, we share a lot of visual content that depicts children and activities for families. I also share my songs and videos that I use in early childhood enrichment programs frequently, because I know there are a lot of parent readers out there who are paying attention to what I have to say!
Today I want to highlight some of the ways in which we serve adults and I invite you to share these services with the adults in your life who could benefit!

FAQ FRIDAY: Adult Music and Art Therapy Groups

Making Progress (By: Marissa Scott)
It's June and for all of us at The Sonatina Center, that means we are reviewing and documenting the progress our clients have made this quarter on their personal goals in music therapy and in art therapy. We do this by writing quarterly progress notes that outline some of the accomplishments we've seen our clients achieve in the last three months and identifying areas of need to focus on as we move forward. Today I'm going to take you through the process I go through when writing progress notes for my music therapy clients.
