On today’s episode, Dr. Karen Nelson is joined by Mandi Verstegen, a board-certified music therapist at Melrose Center. Recovery isn’t just about therapy or your dietician - it’s much more holistic. The practice of music therapy in treatment dovetails with Melrose’s overall goal to treat mind, body, and spirit. Mandi and Karen will discuss the importance music plays in anyone’s recovery journey.
