When instruments break the only logical conclusion is to go to a music store. Where you will inevitably spend more money because of all the GOODIES that you simply can NOT walk away from. 😍

Sometimes you just get so excited you throw a guitar! 😂 glad it’s an easy fix!! And now to find some heavier things to keep around that are appropriate for throwing…

If a group asks whether we can do music outdoors I will 9 times out of 10 say “heck yeah!!!”

Some days you just need to come to music and chill. It’s important that Ms. Elizabeth remembers to shush at these times. 😂

I think we all have a kind of genuine love for clients, especially when we’ve seen them progress and gotten to know the inner workings of their lives and thoughts. It’s a privilege that I’m so thankful for, and yeah, if it means me having an embarrassing moment saying “love you” as I leave, so be it!

March numbers! The highest billable month to date!! 💸

Why do I talk about profit so often? A few reasons - we’re actively searching for a larger home that will have multiple offices, a workspace for therapists, and storage space for instruments. Increasing profit now will make the bigger space, and therefore bigger rent, have a bit less strain. We’d also love to hire an intern in the future, and it’s important to us to be able to pay them!! Building a buffer now makes it more likely in the near term.

Don’t misunderstand me - parents are above and beyond knowledgeable in their kiddos lives over me!! I am advocating for my clients from a neuroaffirming standpoint because it’s historically not the norm. (Un)Learning a lot of what I was taught in my formal education has been changed by those who are Actually Autistic, and it’s important to me that I share this information with parents who might have neurotypical expectations for their neurodivergent children.

And guess what? Parents ultimately have a say in where they bring their children for therapy. If someone is not a fan of how I practice they are able to seek services elsewhere. I’m clear from the get-go about how I practice and provide ample resources about why I do what I do along the way!

Parents absolutely know their kiddos better than I do! But I also know that sometimes a parents request might not align with the way that I practice.

Having to stand up for ourselves as therapists is never easy, but always worthwhile!
