Meet Elizabeth
My name is Elizabeth Derrick and I am a board-certified music therapist and a certified music educator located in the Columbia, SC area. I completed an undergraduate degree in Music Education at Presbyterian College (SC) in 2014 and then went on to complete a master’s degree in Music Therapy at Appalachian State University (NC) in 2019. I have worked as a board-certified music therapist for over 4 years and have taught music privately and within schools for over 8 years.
My areas of musical expertise include the voice, ukulele, harp, guitar, basic to moderate piano, and the flute. When teaching music, I employ a passionate level of dedication and enthusiasm as I share musical knowledge with students. As a clinical music therapist, I seek to walk alongside clients while offering personalized therapeutic support to encourage each individual in their journey toward creative expression and wellness.
My Services
I provide in-person or telehealth private and group music therapy sessions, private music lessons, instrumental classes, and community music services.
As a music therapist, I visit skilled nursing facilities, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools, and patient’s homes to work with clients who have dementia, patients receiving hospice and palliative care, individuals with mental, emotional, and/or behavioral needs, children and adults with special needs, individuals with speech disorders, and individuals with physical limitations.

What is Music Therapy All About?
Music therapy is the clinical practice of assisting individuals with varying health-related and educational needs within a therapeutic relationship with a board-certified music therapist who has completed an approved music therapy program through the use of evidence-based music therapy interventions intended to accomplish personalized goals.
Music therapy can address a variety of healthcare and educational goals such as managing stress, alleviating pain, improving quality of life and promoting wellness, expressing emotions, enhancing memory, improving communication and verbal skills, supporting cognitive capabilities, promoting physical rehabilitation, and managing depression and/or other mental and emotional health needs (American Music Therapy Association, 2005).
