Hello! My name is Hanlee McCart, and I am so blessed to say I am interning with Therabeat Inc. this year! Music therapy is a passion that I have had for many years and have seen it touch the lives of people in the most beautiful and unexpected ways. I spent my first four years studying music therapy at Georgia College & State University where my experience in the field was only the beginning. I am now close to getting my Bachelor’s in Music Therapy once I complete my internship with Therabeat this year!
My primary instrument is cello, and I also love playing piano and the guitar. I absolutely love people and am passionate about using music to create deeper connections with people to serve their needs and advance their strengths. I have always had a passion for working with children specifically, of all ages and abilities! From what I have already experienced at Therabeat Inc., I am confident that this is the perfect internship for me!
Some of my favorite things are listening to music, creating music, being with friends, meeting new people, laughing, laying in the sun, swimming in the ocean, going on runs, and spending time with my family.
I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to serve alongside the Therabeat, Inc. team as an intern. While it is only my first week with Therabeat, I am already blown away by how I have seen so many different therapists use music therapy to connect with the many clients served here. I have already learned so much, and am so eager for all that I will learn from this team in the next 6 months! The reason why I chose Therabeat, Inc. is because I wanted to intern at a site that will develop my experiences in working with multidisciplinary and multi-diverse client family care with the support of professional music therapy supervisors. My first week with Therabeat has already proven this to be an accurate representation of what they care about. It is evident that their team of therapists prioritize the needs and desires of their clients over anything else. Being able to learn from the therapists at Therabeat, Inc. has been such a joy, and I feel beyond blessed to continue learning from them daily as I develop my skills into being a future certified music therapist!
