Our credentials

We love our team! It is a joy to work together to bring music therapy services to the Las Vegas community. All music therapists at Dynamic Music Therapy are certified nationally by the Board Certification of Music Therapists and licensed in the State of Nevada through the Department of Health and Human Services.

Growing the field

Dynamic Music Therapy also serves as an educational facility, where music therapy interns complete their final leg of their educational journey. They need to complete 1200 hours of music therapy experience before sitting for the board examination. We are proud to accept interns that demonstrate potential and fit our team!

MEET THE TEAM

Emily Rawlings, LPMT, MT-BC

Director & Music Therapist

 

Emily specializes in working with those with different abilities. Centering her work on families, Emily recognizes that the home and positive relationships between family members are fundamental to the growth and happiness of her clients.  She feels open communication with parents/caregivers and others working with their children are essential to effective treatment. Where necessary, family members are involved during the treatment sessions to further foster these positive relationships.  Emily has co-presented at national and regional music therapy conferences regarding the importance of familial involvement.

Emily grew up in a large musical family in Oregon. At age 8 Emily began formal instruction on the piano, at age 14 she began learning percussion, and she threw guitar into the mix as an adult.  Initially, Emily began her college education at Brigham Young University as a Music Performance major with an emphasis in percussion, and later transferred to Marylhurst University to receive a Bachelors Degree of Music Therapy, still declaring percussion as her primary instrument. Having grown up with a hearing impairment, Emily is placed in a unique position of being able to relate to many of her clients in a more specific way.  It is also the experience of adapting to life as any other, despite her different abilities, that help to shape Emily’s perspective that trials make an individual stronger and that anyone has the potential to accomplish their dreams. Combining an extensive musical background, education, and personal experience of living a life with different abilities serve to make Emily a unique and effective music therapist.
