Anderson music therapy what a great help
 

I had my stroke in September 2022 and then I had a second series of stroke in March 2023 and I've got to tell you the Anderson music program got me out of a funk. I have been depressed with the new me not being able to do the things that I used to do when I was employed as a chef I got to tell you that I thought the program was great meeting other people who were in a similar situation as I was that it itself was uplifting and working together as a a team with music as the focal point really brought a smile to my face and helped me through some tough times I did really enjoy listening to the music participating in the group selecting songs we'd like to hear and also playing song mad labs which was a lot of fun and I brought a smile to my face.  I would recommend that Anderson music therapy achieve their full Virginia state license they certainly deserve it and I have made recommendations for them to others in my Stroke Support group at a local hospital and how great they were and how it made me feel I would recommend them over an offer
