Nicholas Scott

Nicholas Scott is a Certified Music Therapist as of the Spring of 2020. Nicholas holds credentials in Music Therapy at the masters level and qualifications in Neurologic Music Therapy. Music has always been an important part of Nicholas’ life, with vocals being one of his main instruments. This has evolved to include the trumpet, piano, and guitar. Nicholas realized from a young age his love of music and is grateful for the past few years of study in musical and therapeutic techniques. He enjoys intuitively expressing and exploring music through practice, improvisation, performance, and composition.

Nicholas knows that music can be a resource to draw upon when life is challenging and a force for systemic change. Each person has strengths that can be nurtured into a resource. Each person is unique in their experience and it is important to take this into consideration during the therapeutic process. Music is dynamic and has the unique ability to bring people together and establish a community. Music also works deeply in the body to rehabilitate and restore functioning. Finally, music acts as a medium of creative, emotional, and spiritual expression.

Another practice that has influenced Nicholas’ path is the practice of Reiki. He came into the journey of learning Reiki in 2012 and completed his Master's Level in January 2017. While learning Music Therapy, Nicholas became aware of the similarities between music therapy interventions, concepts, and Reiki. Both practices work towards supporting clients’ overall well-being, developing their self-awareness, and offering ways to cope and manage medical and psychological diagnoses. The two practices combined are a wonderful complementary and alternative service to existing services. Nicholas is excited and grateful to further support people in their lives as best as he can, with his unique and eclectic skillset in Music Therapy & Reiki.
