What Is Music Therapy?
Who Can Receive Music Therapy?
Can My Services Be Covered By Insurance?
Music Therapy is the clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions to accomplish individualized noon-musical goals. These goals can be physical, emotional, cognitive, social, communicative, or educational. Only board-certified music therapists can practice music therapy.​
Anyone can receive music therapy, from birth through end-of-life. It is important that the individual enjoys music -- whether that be simply listening to music or taking part in creating music.
We are considered an out-of-network provider and can provide you a superbill to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

About Me
Alyssa Sy, MT-BC, LPMT
I graduated in 2018 from Appalachian State University and began my internship in August with Fairfax County Public Schools in VA. I then went back to NC and worked at a private practice MT company before returning to VA to work with another private practice in Fairfax, VA.
​
In October 2022, I took a leave of absence to begin my journey into full time motherhood. After dipping my toes back into the workforce for a few months, I've decided to return to the profession I love, part time, here in Montgomery County, MD.
​
When I'm not working, you can find me spending time with my family, baking sourdough, or reading. The holiday season is often busy for me, as I also run Succulent Stickers -- creating stickers, doing embroidery, making jewelry, and so much more!
