Music Therapy
Alie Chandler, MM, MT-BC, LCAT currently provides music therapy services for
the following facilities: The Cedars of Chapel Hill- DuBose Health Center,
Croasdaile Village Health Center, Rose Manor Healthcare and Rehabilitation,
Sunnybrook Healthcare and Rehabilitation, Raleigh Rehabilitation Center, and Duke
University Hospital (SMART study). She also sees individual clients with various
special needs and works collaboratively with speech therapist Elisabeth Galperin in
ComMUSICate groups.
Who can benefit from music therapy?
Anyone who responds positively to music can potentially make therapeutic gains
through music therapy. Research supports the use of music therapy to meet goals
ranging from increasing communication and social skills to decreasing stress and
pain perception. Alie Chandler has worked with individuals with developmental
differences such as cerebral palsy, autism, and various genetic syndromes,
individuals with psychiatric and medical needs, and older adults. Clients need not be
"musically talented" to benefit from music therapy. Click the Music Therapy tab for
more information.
What do music therapy services encompass?
Individual sessions are available in Alie's Carrboro studio, in the comfort of your
home, or on-site at your facility. Small group sessions are also available at your
facility. Sessions are typically 45 minutes in length on a weekly basis. Music
therapy assessments, weekly sessions, consultation with the client's treatment team,
treatment plans, and progress reports are generally included.
What is Alie's music therapy approach?
Alie's music therapy approach is eclectic in technique to find the best way to meet a
client's needs within a client-centered, humanistic philosophy. Drawing from the
Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy approach, she is attuned to the client's
mood, movements, expressions, etc. and she improvises or alters the music
accordingly so that what is created is, in essence, the client's music. In this way,
she focuses upon communication, self-expression, and interaction. Alongside
improvements in these areas comes growth in cognitive, academic, motor, and
sensory processing realms. She is influenced by current research about the brain
and music, and believes in integrating psychological theory with neurological
research. "I believe that everyone has an essential human need to create, and I
strive to help make this creation tangible for the client as music."
