Music Therapy
Louise Dimiceli-Mitran, MT-BC, FAMI, Doctoral candidate at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology: My music therapy practice has expanded! I am devoting more time to therapeutic work using Guided Imagery and Music, rhythmic/vocal improvisation, mandalas and other creative techniques.
The studio is located at 4043 N. Ravenswood, #211B, in Chicago, just North of Irving Park Road and the brown line elevated train. My office phone is 312-409-4858. Email: louise@mitran.com.
As you may know, I have experience working with patients challenged by: stress, depression, creative blocks, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, cancer (particularly those receiving chemotherapy), chemical dependency, loss, legal blindness, HIV, hospice needs, and those interested in personal growth. I also enjoy working as an adjunct therapist to add the transformative power of music and working creatively (which is really accessing the whole person) to therapy already underway.
Those who are actively creative or love the arts often welcome the chance to work with that part of themselves, but people who are creatively blocked, or unable to connect with their inner life are also responsive to creative methods. The arts can offer non-verbal access to a person’s spirituality and aid in expressing feelings and thoughts that were previously inaccessible to them. Vocal/toning/singing work can assist people in finding their own voice.
