Music Therapy
Alie Chandler, MM, MT-BC, LCAT currently contracts music therapy services for the
following facilities: The Cedars of Chapel Hill- DuBose Health Center, Croasdaile Village
Health Center, 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. Alie Chandler has worked with individuals with developmental differences
such as cerebral palsy, autism, and various genetic syndromes, and individuals with
psychiatric and medical needs. Clients need not be "musically talented" to benefit from
music therapy.
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 an option given the availability of
appropriate group members. 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?
My 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, I am attuned to the client's mood,
movements, expressions, etc. and I improvise or alter the music accordingly so that what is
created is, in essence, the client's music. In this way, I focus upon communication,
self-expression, and interaction. Alongside improvements in these areas comes growth
in cognitive, academic, motor, and sensory processing realms. I am influenced by
current research about the brain and music, and I believe 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.
