Clinical Supervision for Music Therapists, Creative Arts Therapists, Special Educators, Counselors

I have supervised students ( undergraduate and graduate programs) and professionals in both music therapy and related therapies for over 40 years and have a special interest in developmental stages in supervision using not only verbal process but also the arts. . I aim to be sensitive to your needs in clinical supervision so your work engages you and helps you and your clients grow. Supervision includes, as necessary, the following: intake to assess your needs, review of relevant documents, review of video footage as necessary, review of appropriate music therapy planning, intervention and evaluation and process oriented discussion of client/therapist interaction. As an LCAT since 2006, I am a qualified provider to supervisor candidates for the License in Creative Arts Therapy* in the State of New York. Depending on your field, you may be eligible to gain continuing education credits for your supervision.

Supervising the Supervisor

Serving as a supervisor is challenging. Were you trained to be a supervisor? If not, would you benefit from training? If you were, do you feel you need refresher training so you can optimally reach your supervisees and have a sense of your own journey as a supervisor? I have been interested in and studying the possible developmental phases that supervisees and supervisors go through and how recognition of these phases could effect your journey as a supervisor. Let’s touch base to see if I can be of help to you as a supervisor.

Lectures

I have guest lectured for different universities including Pratt Institute, Bar Ilan University, Berklee College of Music, SUNY-New Paltz, University of Miami, University of the West of England and CW Post.I have presented over 45 lectures at regional, national and international conferences. Suggested areas for presentation: music therapy in child and/or adult psychiatry, clinical assessment, education and training, stage model for clinical music therapy supervision.

Support for Music and Health projects

Are you a music and health researcher who would benefit from a consultation with a seasoned music therapy researcher and educator? I provide internal reviews for NIH (National Institute of Health) and NEA (National Endowment of the Arts) and also assist researchers with music and health related projects. I am an identified resource for the SoundHealth Network (https://soundhealth.ucsf.edu/network-directory), a NEH/NIH collaborative initiated by Renee Fleming.

Literary Support for Authors

Do you want to publish but you are stuck in your writing? I would love to support you. Many students and professionals feel stuck in their writing. There are many considerations some of which include: the 'voice' of the writing, the architecture of the writing piece , the process (i.e., pace, starts and stops, moving between research, analysis and actual writing), the use of language and comfort with syntax, grammar and choice of words. When English is not your first language, these elements of writing can be even more challenging.

Editing for Authors

As a former Editor of Music Therapy, the original publication of the American Association for Music Therapy, editor of two published books ( 2015, 2023) with prominent international authors and Associate Editor, Psychology of Music, I have enjoyed writing and editing all my life and feel comfortable helping others write and edit their work. I have been editing student and professional work for 40 plus years. The different kinds of editing I do include developmental/substantive/content , structural, copy edits, line edits and mechanical editing. My recent editing projects include editing masters theses, doctoral manuscripts, articles submitted toward doctoral dissertation requirements for international authors, editing chapters for a contracted book on music therapy..

Clinical Assessment, Music Therapy

Includes review of records, two hour long sessions, final report and recommendations.

In the years 1998-2018, I taught graduate students clinical assessment. We covered published assessments in gerontology, child and adult psychiatry, developmental disabilities, autism and , interestingly, couples therapy. I have conducted a great number of assessments with children and adolescents, many of whom received music therapy on their Individual Education Plans as a result of the assessment.

I have published an original assessment tool, MTA-ED, Music Therapy Assessment Tool for Emotionally Disturbed Children (Goodman, 1989; Goodman, 2007) which is discussed on the I.M.T.A.C website (https://www.communication.aau.dk/research/music-therapy-research/imtac).
