Allie Longworth
MT-BC • Board-Certified Music Therapist
About
The soothing melodies of healing resonate through Allie Longworth's practice, where music becomes a powerful catalyst for personal transformation and growth. As a board-certified music therapist (MT-BC) at LaunchPad Counseling, Allie has spent over five years harnessing the therapeutic potential of music to guide clients on their journey towards self-discovery and emotional wellness.
Allie's path to music therapy began in 2012 when she first started studying this unique therapeutic approach. Inspired by case studies showcasing music's profound impact on the healing process, coupled with her own passion for music and background as a musician, Allie made the pivotal decision to become a music therapist. She achieved her board certification in 2016, solidifying her commitment to this innovative field.
Furthering her expertise, Allie completed post-graduate training in the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music, expanding her therapeutic toolkit. This additional training allows her to offer a more comprehensive and nuanced approach to music therapy, tailoring sessions to meet the unique needs of each client.
In her practice, Allie creates a safe and nurturing environment where clients can explore their inner worlds through the universal language of music. Her approach is flexible and client-centered, recognizing that each individual's relationship with music is unique. Whether working with teenagers or adults, Allie adapts her techniques to help clients process difficult experiences, navigate complex emotions, and improve relationships both with others and within themselves.
Allie's belief in the power of the healing process is not just professional, but personal. She has embarked on her own healing journey, working with therapists, mentors, and supervisors who have guided her along the way. This firsthand experience infuses her practice with empathy and understanding, allowing her to walk alongside her clients with genuine compassion and insight. At LaunchPad Counseling, Allie offers both in-person Music Therapy sessions in Richmond, VA, and online counseling across the United States, making her unique therapeutic approach accessible to a wide range of clients seeking transformative healing through the power of music.
