Learn More

Music has been used for healing throughout human history. Music therapists are credentialed clinicians with advanced training in using music to support people of all ages and abilities with their mental, physical, spiritual, and social health. All genres of music may be used within a therapeutic relationship via listening, singing, playing, or songwriting. Group and individual sessions are available via telehealth and in facilities and communities.

Audrey Hausig, MMT, MT-BC

I’ve been developing a practice of person centered, trauma-informed, liberatory, culturally reflexive music therapy for over 25 years. I facilitate music and verbal experiences within a therapeutic relationship to support people of all ages as they explore their strengths, needs, and goals. I’ve worked with people working on a variety of goals with a focus on mental health, substance use disorders, trauma, end of life, and neurological impairments. I’ve been privileged to bear witness to their courage, strength, and hope as they work towards increased wellness and wholeness. I play guitar, bass guitar, violin, piano, drums, and I sing. I commit to learning about how I benefit from oppressive systems, how they affect the people I work with, and how that impacts the therapy process. Covid-19 precautions include vaccination, masking, social distancing, outdoor and telehealth when necessary. Instruments and materials are cleaned after every use.

Clinical Supervision

Clinical supervision is available for individuals and groups with Audrey Hausig, MMT, MT-BC. I’ve been providing clinical supervision for two decades and I use both verbal and creative techniques to explore counter transference, professional goals, and to develop self care routines. I love sharing resources, ideas for music experiences, and strategies for enacting change to facility policies. I apply a humanistic, strength-based, abolitionist perspective both to looking at clinical work and in clinical supervision. I work through a social justice lens and I strive to listen deeply and openly.

Please email philadelphiamusictherapy@gmail.com to schedule a supervision session.
