A veces el miedo no se muestra como duda o inseguridad.
A veces se esconde detrás del éxito, la autoexigencia y la necesidad de hacerlo todo “perfecto”.

En El miedo – Parte 2 hablamos de dos máscaras comunes del miedo: el síndrome del impostor y el perfeccionismo.

Ambos pueden parecer fortaleza, pero muchas veces nacen del temor a no ser suficientes.

Este artículo invita a reconocer esas máscaras con compasión y a abrir espacio para una forma de vivir más auténtica y tranquila.

El miedo no siempre es el enemigo. A veces protege, a veces frena… y otras puede guiarnos hacia el crecimiento personal.

En El miedo – Parte 1 reflexionamos sobre cómo esta emoción puede convertirse en una herramienta de sanación cuando aprendemos a escucharla en lugar de huir de ella.

The recent Medicaid/MTM disruption around music therapy services in Florida has been painful to witness.

When billing systems allowed unqualified and untrained individuals to claim they were providing music therapy, the result wasn’t just administrative confusion—it created risk for clients and devalued a legitimate clinical profession.

The fallout has been significant: certified music therapists left unpaid for months, asked to halt services, and required to reapply as Medicaid providers without a clear process while the system attempts to correct course.

This is exactly why I’m encouraged to see forward momentum in the Florida Legislature toward music therapy licensure. Licensure brings needed oversight, protects clients, clarifies scope of practice, and supports ethical billing—while recognizing music therapy as a necessary, evidence-based therapeutic service, not an optional add-on.

Music therapy is a clinical discipline that deserves the same safeguards and recognition as other licensed professions. I’m hopeful this legislation moves forward—for the clinicians who practice responsibly, and for the individuals and families who rely on these services.

At Cadenza Center for Psychotherapy and the Arts, we’re proud to have qualified, highly trained music therapists on staff who practice ethically and with deep clinical intention. Music therapy deserves the same safeguards and recognition as other licensed professions—for clinicians and for the individuals and families who rely on these services.

Today, we took an important step forward for health, healing, and dignity in Florida.

I’m proud to introduce legislation with Senator to recognize and support music therapy as an essential therapeutic service that improves lives — especially for people with disabilities, trauma history, and those who benefit from expressive therapies.

Recently, local families lost insurance coverage for music therapy, partly due to this lack of licensure. We want to prevent future coverage gaps, increase oversight, and ensure that Medicaid and other payers can more reliably reimburse qualified professionals.
