Every mental health professional must be 
concerned about protecting their clients’ privacy. Sound-proofing your office is just one part of the job. My colleague, Karen Carnabucci, in Racine, Wisconsin has written an excellent post with helpful tips for doing just that.
Check out her post and then drop back in here to let me know if you have other tips / concerns to share.
Hey, Tamara, I’m trying to catch up on blogs (and everything else!) today, and I caught this post. This is definitely an issue for me as a music therapist. As I’ve tried to decide whether I have time/energy/space in my life to start a private practice, I’ve been conscious of the fact that music therapy can be noisy. One particular element I hadn’t thought about was the fact that outside noises can also be a problem (I’m not sure why I didn’t think of this, considering we are constantly dealing with noise from various other areas in the Music Room at work). Definitely a very important topic. Thanks for the link!
Hi, Roia! It’s good to hear from you again! And, I’m glad to hear that you are hesitating to start a private practice because you are assessing your time / energy / space issues rather than hesitating because of fears!
If I can help in any way, Roia, just let me know! There is a huge gap in services from those of you in creative arts, in general, and music therapists in particular! Bring on the arts!
