Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling: Music Therapy

Engage others in music-making as a means to mental health and wellness. As a music therapy student, explore therapeutic applications for music and the creative process, as well as counseling theories and techniques. Receive mentorship from world-recognized faculty and prepare for careers in hospitals, inpatient and outpatient care facilities, community centers, schools, private practice, and community organizations.

There’s a spirit of creativity that runs through everything you’ll do in Lesley’s music therapy program, whether it’s designing interventions for children in crisis or researching the latest studies on trauma. Our program is designed to promote an inclusive, critically informed atmosphere in which intellectual development, research, and collaboration with artists, performers, and scholars from diverse disciplines can thrive.

At Lesley, you’ll discover bold ideas about what a university can be. A community of scholars committed to helping others. A laboratory for tackling issues of social justice. And a place where creativity and imagination thrive.
