Music Therapists at SAM
Lisa Mullaly
Lisa is an Accredited Music Therapist and Behaviour Interventionist with an eclectic approach to her practice. Her extensive background in Applied Behaviour Analysis informs her skill-building programming, while her music therapy training offers humanistic techniques for self-expression, emotional regulation, creativity and spontaneity. These two approaches come together in an integrated session.
Lisa’s passion for evidenced-based practice took her to Colorado State University where she completed her course work and is currently writing her thesis towards a Master’s in Neurological Music Therapy. She is up-to-date on new and exciting research, attends conferences and workshops regularly, and can’t wait to share new techniques with her clients. Her sessions are individually tailored to the client and their unique needs, using music as a tool for development in social, language, communication, and emotional and physical goals. She believes therapy takes place in and outside of the clinic and works hard to ensure all of her clients can progress towards participation in the regular programs at SAM, including group class instruction, private lessons, musical theatre, and recitals, ensuring a connection to their community through music.
