Daniel Tague

With a PhD in music therapy and board certification (MT-BC), I've spent 25 years blending research and practice to help clients harness music's power for healing. My background includes academia, where I honed skills in mixed-methods research and qualitative analysis ensuring evidence-based interventions that deliver measurable results for you. Specializing in telehealth, I offer flexible online sessions and groups for children with special needs to build communication and emotional regulation; adults with anxiety, depression, dementia, or chronic conditions for stress relief and cognitive enhancement; and consulting for professionals to integrate music into programs effectively. My client-centered approach prioritizes your unique goals, creating personalized plans that foster joy, resilience, and growth—all from the comfort of home. As an author of books on music therapy (available on Amazon) and maintainer of a 20-year blog, I provide accessible resources that empower you long-term.

I believe in the profound power of music to foster connection, healing, and community for all, regardless of background or ability. Rooted in inclusivity and evidence-based care, I'm passionate about mentoring high school and college students in music therapy, guiding them to discover their potential in this field. I also supervise emerging therapists, emphasizing ethical, client-centered practices to build a stronger profession. My values shine through initiatives like introducing group improvisational drumming in inpatient mental health settings, where rhythm creates safe spaces for expression and recovery. I collaborate with non-profits to amplify their impact, expanding evidence-based services to underserved populations. Additionally, I volunteer with children's singing programs at church, nurturing young voices and spirits through joyful, faith-inspired music. These commitments reflect my dedication to empowerment, accessibility, and holistic well-being.
