  • Parkinson’s Disease 

  • Stroke

  • Acquired Brain Injury 

  • Huntington’s Disease

  • Traumatic Brain Injury

Individual Sessions

 

NeuroHealth Music Therapy, LLC, offers 1-on-1 music therapy sessions in Chicago’s western suburbs. 

Using researched based techniques and a client centered approach, each session is tailored to your strengths and needs.  The elements of music such as rhythm, tempo and melody are used in specific ways to improve or maintain non-musical goal areas or skills. Since music is processed throughout the brain, it can be used to create a “detour” and provide the possibility of regaining lost skills related to speech, movement and cognition.

The beauty of music is that you may realize how hard you’re working because it’s so enjoyable!
