Mentorship for Music Therapist
Alice Chiang, MA., MT-BC
Board Certified Music Therapist
Mountain View, CA
Hi, I’m Alice. I am a Board-Certified Music Therapist with a Master’s degree in Music Therapy and Bachelor's degrees in Music Education and Music Performance. Music has always been a meaningful part of my life, and it’s a privilege to now use it as a media to support healing, growth, and connection.
My clinical focus is working with children with special needs, and I am passionate about creating a supportive and engaging environment where every child can thrive. In addition to my work with children, I have extensive experience with diverse populations, including individuals in mental health settings, forensic environments, and senior care communities.
Beyond my clinical work, I also supervise and mentor music therapy students and practicing therapists as they grow in their professional journeys.
Outside of work, I spend as much time as I can with my dog, Datao. Datao served for many years as a therapy dog in the "Read to Paws" program at the library, helping children build confidence through reading. I adopted him when he was just nine weeks old, and he has been a loving companion to people and animals ever since.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I’m excited to share the power of music therapy with you!

您好，我是Alice！
我是一位美國音樂治療師協會認證的音樂治療師（MT-BC），擁有音樂治療碩士學位，以及音樂教育與音樂表演學士學位。音樂一直是我生命中重要的一部分，能夠透過音樂支持他人成長、療癒與連結，對我來說是非常珍貴的使命。
我目前專注於為有特殊需求的兒童提供音樂治療，根據每位孩子的獨特特質和需求，量身設計個別化的療程。同時，我也擁有豐富的跨領域經驗，曾服務於精神健康及高齡族群，能靈活運用音樂在不同情境中帶來正向的支持與改變。
我相信，透過專業且客製化的音樂治療，不論年齡層或背景，都能幫助提升社交能力、情緒調適技巧、心理健康、肢體協調與認知技能，進而培養自信、內在平衡與心靈的安定。
除了臨床工作外，我也致力於指導與培育音樂治療領域的學生與執業治療師，陪伴他們在專業成長的道路上持續前進。
在工作之外，我最喜歡的事情就是和我親愛的狗狗「大頭」一起散步與陪伴彼此。我從大頭九週大的時候就領養了他，他一直是個溫馴又喜愛與人和動物互動的好夥伴。多年來，大頭曾在圖書館參與「Read to Paws」的兒童閱讀輔助計畫，成為小朋友們信心的支持。
感謝您花時間認識我！期待能與您分享音樂治療帶來的溫暖與力量。
