Are you a music therapy student or professional looking for clinical supervision? I provide supervision via video over a platform that is both HIPAA compliant and GDPR compliant. I have several years of experience providing long distance supervision and therapy, and have worked with many individuals who reside all over the world.

I maintain my US board-certification in music therapy along with my New York State licensure as a Creative Arts Therapist and am currently in the application process to be registered as an Arts Therapist in the United Kingdom.

I have been working in the field of music therapy in New York City for the past 15 years, and have now returned to live and work in Scotland. For the past ten years, I have run a private psychotherapy practice working with adults and teenagers with histories of trauma and other mental health diagnoses. I am adjunct faculty at New York University’s music therapy program, and an assistant trainer with the Institute for Music and Consciousness in China and the USA, and the Integrative GIM Training Program in London. As a Fellow of the Association for Music and Imagery, I am one of the first people to be trained in The Continuum Model of GIM, developed by Dr. Lisa Summer.

My areas of expertise and special interest include:

• Psychotherapy with adults 
• Music and Imagery methods
• Trauma
• Self-care and resilience

I have extensive experience supervising students and professionals working with children and adults in the medical field, geriatric care, school settings, and private practice. Please feel free to contact me here for more information.

Suzannah facilitates a weekly music psychotherapy group for high-functioning adults.  It is an ongoing, open-membership group for those individuals interested in a depth-oriented creative arts therapy process.

• Meets weekly on Wednesday evenings
• $50 per 1.5 hour session
• Addresses your relationship to music, self and others
• Utilizes unfolding group dynamics, words, music and imagery processes

The group has openings for new members. Membership is approved only after assessment. Please contact Suzannah on the Get In Touch page to communicate your interest.

Welcome to my new website, officially launched today!

I want to thank my amazing designer, Rebecca Hume, who spent many hours developing a look that would reflect my personality and my clinical work. I really love what she’s created for me; it clearly expresses my intention as a therapist, and hopefully invites more people to experience music therapy.

Feel free to leave feedback here, or contact Rebecca at the link above if you like her work.

I am excited to report that, this week, I am attending the 2013 conference of the Association for Music and Imagery in Vancouver, Canada. I will be co-presenting with Maya Story on the subject of GIM and beyond: How GIM training informs our other work. I’m excited to begin a deeper conversation about receptive methods in music therapy, and how training in deep listening is an essential skill for therapists and clients alike.

Check out the conference schedule to learn about what other presentations are on offer.

The New Jersey Association for Music Therapy has invited me to run a 5 hour education presentation this October. The title of my presentation is Surrendering to the Music: Receptive Attitudes that Transform the Therapist and the Client. Please contact me for further information or see Surrendering to the Music – CMTE with all the details, including ways to register.
