Staff Profile: Lucy Brown

Welcome to our newest music therapist, Lucy, who joined the MTEC team this fall!

Name: Lucy Brown, MT-BC

Hometown: Mentor, Ohio

Education: Bachelor of Science in Music Therapy from the State University of Fredonia

Professional interests: "I love going to regional and national conferences to learn new things, get fresh ideas for interventions, network with other professionals and catch up with colleagues."

Music Therapy Philosophy: "I believe that music therapy works best when the therapy is client centered and uses music as a tool to increase self-awareness and work on challenges that are discovered in the client's health and wellness.  When the client can use music as an instrument to create change in their areas of need they become more balanced within themselves and this leads to increased wellness.  Music therapy should be focused on the client and involve the use of music to create positive change which the therapist helps to facilitate."

What do you outside of MTEC? "Visiting with friends and family.  I like to be outdoors; camping, hiking and snowboarding when possible.  I also enjoy the challenge of home improvement projects and baking or cooking new things."

Did you know?  "I studied abroad in Spain where my classes were taught in Spanish."
