About Musical Bridges

Are you a Board-Certified Music Therapist looking for a collaborative, team-based clinical home? Musical Bridges is a data-driven, neurodiversity-affirming practice serving the Greater Nashville area. We believe that exceptional clinical care is only possible when therapists are fully supported. That is why we fiercely protect our teamโ€™s 40-hour work week, building in fully paid administrative, documentation, and planning time so you can leave work at work.


When you join Musical Bridges, you aren't practicing on an island. You will be part of a team-based collaborative model of clinical care that relies on regular supervision, peer observations, and dedicated mentoring for new hires. We provide the structure and the community you need to thrive and prevent burnout.
