Soniya Brar

Music Therapist - Board-Certified

Healthcare

Encino, Los Angeles

Social

Services offered

I received my board certification as a music therapist in 2014. I have worked with hospice patients and their family, individuals processing grief and experiencing bereavement, children with complex medical needs, hospital patients, neurodivergent clients, and individuals with diverse intellectual and mental health needs. I believe in the power of music to help individuals towards self-actualization, growth, and a sense of greater wholeness. I am particularly interested in learning about each individual's personal culture and how it can inform (and transform) the therapeutic process. We each live in this world with our own set of ideas and beliefs on how to live life to our fullest potential. My work is rooted in respecting the dignity, uniqueness, and capabilities of each client. I am open to full-time work and part-time or independent-contractor opportunities.
