Question 1

What is music therapy?

Accepted Answer

Music therapy is a health care service where you receive support from a certified music therapist who uses music as part of your therapy. We address your mental health concerns using music based activities in addition to talking. For example, we frequently listen to music, discuss lyrics, incorporate songwriting, singing and playing instruments. The services we provide include music therapy for anxiety, music therapy for depression, and music therapy for trauma.

Question 2

Do you take insurance?

Accepted Answer

We do not accept insurance, but we are happy to provide super bills to submit to your out of network insurance. Music therapy is rarely covered by health insurance policies. Reduced fees may be available on a case by case basis.

Question 3

Does North Star Therapy provide counseling services?

Accepted Answer

North Star Therapy does not currently provide licensed professional counseling. Our music therapists are highly specialized in addressing mental health in a music therapy setting, and may be sufficient to address your mental health concerns. However, if we assess that your needs exceed our scope of practice, we will refer you to a counselor or other provider in our area.

Question 4

I love the idea of music therapy, but cost is an issue. What options do you have?"
