Music Therapy Evaluation
A music therapy evaluation is conducted to determine if music therapy will be beneficial for the prospective client. Assessments are typically 60-90 minutes in length. There will be time for an assessment with music interventions as well as a discussion with caregivers and clients over a potential treatment plan. After the evaluation, the music therapist will send a report to the responsible party within two weeks. If the client qualifies for services, scheduling will then take place.
Individual Sessions
Individual sessions are one-on-one sessions in which the music therapist provides direct care to the client. Music based strategies and interventions are implemented to address measurable and data-based goals and objectives. Goal areas may go hand-in-hand with IEP goals, goals in other therapies, or other areas of need.
Individual sessions are typically scheduled once per week, though sessions may be offered several times a week, if appropriate.
Mobile Music Therapy Services
While we encourage families to attend sessions at our clinic whenever possible, we understand that transportation, medical needs, or scheduling challenges can make traveling difficult. For those situations, Heart Strings Music Therapy Services offers Mobile Music Therapy, bringing individualized, evidence-based music therapy directly to your home, school, or another approved community location within our service area.
Mobile sessions provide the same high-quality, personalized care as our clinic services while offering the convenience of receiving therapy in a familiar environment. Because mobile services require additional therapist travel time and transportation of clinical instruments and materials, mobile rates differ from in-clinic services.
| Service | Length | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile Music Therapy Evaluation | 60 minutes | $140 |
| Mobile Individual Music Therapy Session | 60 minutes | $120 |
| School-Based Individual Music Therapy Session | 30 minutes | $80 |
School-based 30 minute sessions must be scheduled consecutively for students at the same location.
Availability for mobile services is limited and based on therapist schedules, location, and service area. In-clinic appointments remain our primary service model and are recommended whenever feasible.
Mobile services are available within our service area. Locations outside of our standard service area may require an additional travel fee based on distance and availability.
Group Services
Heart Strings serves facilities throughout Greenville and the Upstate of South Carolina. Our board-certified music therapists provide on-site group sessions tailored to support emotional, social, and cognitive goals.
Groups are tailored to the unique needs of each facility. Heart Strings can accommodate smaller groups of 3-5 participants or larger groups of 6-12 participants.
