Our institution and team

About us

An association of professionals working to expand access to music therapy, strengthen its practice and build community from Mexico.

Our history

A project that began by listening to a need.

CMM began in Mexico City in 2020 in response to the need for access to both professional music therapy services and educational opportunities.

The initial idea of a virtual clinic evolved into a center with three connected areas: care, continuing education and professional activities. Since then, the project has brought together music therapists and collaborators with diverse backgrounds.

Our approach

Professional rigor with human sensitivity.

Music can open possibilities, but responsible practice requires training, assessment, clear goals, ethics and collaboration.

The person comes first

Each process is adapted to the person's needs, preferences, history and context.

Reflective practice

We value observable goals, ongoing review and professional boundaries.

Community

We connect practice, education and dialogue across disciplines and regions.
