A Note from Our President
On August 16th, 2022, Allison Hingley resigned as Executive Director of Atlantic Music Therapy, Inc. On August 22nd, 2022, the Board of Directors met and voted to dissolve the organization. We requested that Allison stay onboard to assist with this process, and she obliged. The timeline of dissolution includes discontinuation of clinical services effective September 30th, 2022. Until that date, our organization will continue its mission to provide the highest quality clinical music therapy services. Beginning in October, we will begin working to satisfy the administrative processes required of formal dissolution.
The members of the Board of Directors offer our sincerest thanks to all who have supported our mission to provide life-changing music therapy services, deliver the highest quality training and continuing music therapy education opportunities, and advance human understanding of music and its clinical applications through research over the years. Your support is what allowed us to do amazing things in the lives of those we served.

A Note from Our Executive Director
When I founded this organization in 2014, my goal was to create a practice that would serve individuals in my community and bring awareness to the field of music therapy. Over the past eight years, I have served individuals living with Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and other neurodegenerative diseases, stroke survivors, traumatic brain injury survivors, and their families, and children with neurodiversities and developmental disabilities. I have also been internship director and supervisor for incredible music therapy clinical interns, and have had the privilege of serving alongside the best therapists in our field right here in North Carolina.
I want to thank you for allowing me to be part of your life, and for being one of the most cherished parts of mine. I am grateful for the trust placed in my knowledge and skills, and the time I was able to spend making music and progress with all of you. For the next few years, I will continue to volunteer in multiple capacities in the field of music therapy while focusing on the needs of my young family. After this time (and many prerequisite courses), I hope to pursue a career in medicine.
