Safiya Jackson, MM, MT-BC

My name is Safiya Jackson, MM, MT-BC, a board-certified music therapist who resides in Miami, FL. Music has been a passion of mine from a young. Throughout my school years I was invested and dedicated to piano lessons and art lessons. For my bachelor's degree I obtained my degree in music performance with a concentration on classical piano at Gardner-Webb University. After completing my undergraduate degree, I decided to continue my higher education by pursuing my Master's of Music in Music Therapy at the University of Miami. During the completing of this degree and training I had the opportunity to work with a variety of client populations which included early intervention, hospitalized children and adolescents, cancer patients, and hospice care. Music is helpful for all individuals and client populations for various reasons, however I found it most fulfilling assisting children and adolescents improve and succeed in increasing their developmental skills to help them live a full life.
