Music Therapist - PRN

Responsibilities

Salt Lake Behavioral Health is searching for an amazing Music Therapist to assist on a part time basis. At Salt Lake Behavioral Health Hospital we understand that not all wounds are visible. Depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction and suicide affect millions of individuals and families. Our mission is to transform lives through exceptional patient care. Salt Lake Behavioral Health is a private 118 bed freestanding psychiatric hospital specializing in mental health and substance abuse treatment for adolescents and adults.

We serve the Salt Lake City and surrounding area using evidence-based treatments in a comfortable, confidential atmosphere. We believe in an individualized, patient-focused approach to diagnosis and treatment. For some, anxiety or drug dependence looks different from others with the same diagnoses, and in some cases, behavioral health and substance use disorders occur simultaneously. In these cases of dual‑diagnosis, we treat the patients in the best way possible given their specific case.

The Music Therapist is responsible for planning and implementing therapeutic and evidence‑based Music Therapy services at Salt Lake Behavioral Health in order to meet the physical, cognitive, emotional, social and cultural needs of patients as a Board Certified Music Therapist (MT‑BC). This position involves defining and implementing treatment goals as a member of the interdisciplinary treatment team and supporting patients in their mental health journey.

The Music Therapist strives to build a strong therapeutic alliance through empathetic and continuous patient care, observation, interaction and role modeling. The Music Therapist is responsible for conducting assessments, facilitating MT group interventions, documenting progress and discharge planning for assigned patients.
