Happy 4 year work-iversary to Lauren! Read on to learn more about Lauren.
🦋What have you learned in the last year as an MT-BC?🦋
"I have seen growth in my confidence as a clinician, and I have learned that I love to learn and teach others through presentations and supervision opportunities."
🦋What do you like about being a music therapist?🦋
"I love getting to mix my two favorite things! Loving on and serving others and making music!"
🦋Lauren's Music Therapy Approach🦋
"My approach to music therapy is to let the individual(s) guide how the session proceeds. I value a humanistic approach to each session as I think of the person as a whole, regardless of what they have done in the past or the traumas they have endured. I believe in individualized sessions. Just as no person is the same in this life, no session that I facilitate will be the same as they are catered to the unique traits/skills that they have."
🦋If you were a food item, what would you be and why?🦋
"A sour patch kid! I would describe my "sweet" side as when I am compassionate and kind to others in every situation. My "sour" side is when I feel there is injustice or a time where advocacy for others is needed."
🦋Where did you intern?🦋
"Dynamic Music Services."
🦋What do you do for self-care outside of working hours?🦋
"I love to crochet! Most recently I have added in journaling as a self-care practice. My current favorite journaling prompt is naming things I want to let go of or do not serve me, practicing gratitude, and writing down affirmations to encourage self-love and confidence."
🦋What musical instruments are your favorite to use in sessions and why?🦋
"I love to utilize my guitar when I am facilitating sessions as it is the most adaptable in terms of tone, rhythm, and dynamics. I am able to change the way I am playing to match the individual's needs in the session. I especially love when I am able to adapt the guitar to make it more accessible for others to learn and play it."
