Service delivery formats include individual sessions, group therapy in nursing homes, schools, hospitals, and rehabilitation centers, virtual and telehealth sessions, and home-based sessions. A laughter therapy offering is also listed, described as combining music-based interventions with humor techniques in a single session format. Sessions are personalized around each client’s background, age, ethnicity, gender, religion, and music preferences. The practice explicitly states that no prior musical background or skill is required.

Populations served include seniors, geriatric patients, and individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease. The practice also works with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, chronic and acute pain, autism, ADHD, substance abuse, cancer, stroke recovery, and brain injuries. Children with special needs and individuals with eating disorders are additionally listed among the populations served.

Group sessions offered in institutional settings focus on goals such as improving communication and social interaction, supporting memory function, developing coordination, and building self-esteem. Individual sessions are tailored to each client’s clinical and personal profile.

Medicaid coverage is noted as potentially available for board-certified music therapy services through Home and Community Based Services waivers, when the services are determined to be medically necessary. The practice’s board-certified status underpins the eligibility pathway for those seeking coverage. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The practice serves both pediatric and adult populations across its institutional and private-client settings. It can be reached by phone at (914) 316-6169 or by email at info@musictherapyguy.com.
