The Center was founded in 1994 to make music therapy more accessible to the Central Texas area. Its services are based on the founding principle of Gratitude. Founder and clinical director, Hope E. Young, MT-BC has been in practice in Austin since 1990, working with children, adolescents, adults and older adults. Since it opened, the Center has provided services for many area hospitals, including St. David's Hospital and Warm Springs Rehabilitation Hospital, as well as facilities in Austin, San Antonio, Houston and Corpus Christi. All of the Center's therapists are certified by the Certification Board for Music Therapists. OUR MISSION STATEMENT:"The Center for Music Therapy is dedicated to making music therapy accessible to all those who want or need it, both in traditional and non-traditional settings." ~ J. Douglas Hudson, M.D. Director "I regard music therapy as a tool of great power...because of its unique capacity to organize or reorganize cerebral function when it has been damaged." ~ Oliver Sacks, M.D. Professor of Neurology
Hope Young, MT-BC is founder and President of The Center For Music Therapy, Inc. She received her degree in Music Therapy in 1989 from The University of the Pacific, Conservatory of Music in Stockton, California....
