Accentuate the positive
Have a particular life obstacle you’re trying to overcome? Do you love music? Sometimes, seeking help from a certified expert is the best way to put things into perspective or move past a stuck point. My name is Jamie McLean, MT-BC. I am a committed, professional, Certified Music Therapist in Sun Valley,Idaho, with over ten years of experience partnering with clients to identify and nurture their strengths in order to meet their goals using music, DBT, movement and mindfulness practices. I believe each person has an inherent knowledge and ability to heal themselves. I am trained in partnering with my clients to utilize the rhythms, vibrations, and emotional expressions that music provides to help my clients socialize, manage emotions, meet educational goals, manage pain, prevent relapse in recovery from substance abuse, and improve physical limitations. I use evidence based practices, informed by neurobiology, psychology, and musical proficiency. In music therapy, I invite you to come as you are and try something new. Let’s explore how music might help you through all of life’s challenges.
“If you can talk you can sing. If you can walk you can dance.”

What To Expect At Your Visit
Learn About My Methods
Music therapy sessions can feel as simple as listening to music, making music, and moving to music with someone who is clinically trained to develop music based experiences to help you meet your goals. After a brief consultation to determine your reasons for seeking out music therapy, as well as the potential benefits and or risks of music therapy and confidentiality information, a music therapy assessment will be scheduled to evaluate your musical/cultural/spiritual preferences as well as strengths and areas for growth. If we agree that evidence based music therapy and my therapeutic approaches are a fit for you, we will develop a personal treatment plan for individual or group music therapy sessions. Once your stated goals have been met, treatment is successfully completed.
