Greater Chicago Music Therapy Inc. Using music as a tool to support health​ and wellness for individuals and groups After nearly 12 years of private practice in the Chicago area, we “upgraded"!

This is a long time coming! The week Becky finished her clinical internship and completed graduate school, she received her first referral for a private client. Wanting to gain as much experience as possible, she spent 12 years practicing music therapy privately via traveling to people’s homes or to various care communities and programs to provide individual and group music therapy services while simultaneously holding positions on staff at a large skilled nursing/short term rehabilitation facility, then creating and facilitating a program for a local hospice. Now, Becky is devoting her full time to Greater Chicago Music Therapy Inc., which is the new name of her music therapy practice.
