INITIAL CONSULTATION
FREE
All prospective and new clients of The Sonatina Center will begin the intake process with a thirty (30) minute consultation. This is typically done over the phone with our Clinical Services Coordinator who will review our process and policies with you and gather information to determine if music or art therapy may be a good fit. The consultation serves as an opportunity for the new client to ask questions about services and gain a deeper understanding of the therapy process.
MUSIC THERAPY INTAKE SESSION
$95 to 135 (Sliding Fee)
Clients who wish to move forward in the therapeutic process will complete intake paperwork with consent to provide services and acknowledgement of The Sonatina Center’s policies, procedures, and privacy notices and schedule an intake session with their assigned therapist. The initial appointment is an evaluation session that may be up to one hour in duration, depending on the needs and abilities of the client. During this time, the therapist will gather information and evaluate the client in several domains (i.e. social, communication, gross/fine motor, emotional, cognitive, etc) to gain an understanding of strengths and areas of need that can be addressed in music therapy sessions. Intakes are required of all individuals prior to participating in an individual or family therapy session.
Following the evaluation, therapists will provide each client with a narrative report confirming strengths and areas of need and outline their recommendations for therapy goals, session duration and frequency of therapy. A separate individualized goal plan (IGP) will also be provided. Goal plans are working documents that will be updated as appropriate for each individual.
Once therapy begins, your therapist will keep track of progress on goals and add goals as needed or recommend transition out of services. The providers at the Sonatina Center provide written reports of progress for all clients on a quarterly basis.
