Melissa Howard
LPC, LPMT, NCC, MT-BCI, Reiki Practitioner, Sound Healer
I am a Board-Certified Music Therapist with over 15 years of experience providing music therapy services across a wide range of settings, including hospitals, hospice care, bereavement support, behavioral health, senior wellness, and dementia care.
I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Governors State University and have completed specialized training in perinatal music therapy. I am passionate about supporting individuals and families through the perinatal period, using music as a powerful tool for emotional connection, healing, and resilience.
Additionally, I’ve found music therapy to be especially effective in supporting the practice of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills. I enjoy developing creative, individualized interventions that help clients engage more fully with DBT concepts through music.
My approach is rooted in empathy, creativity, and a deep belief in music’s ability to foster healing, regulation, and growth.
