Maryrose Nieman Nelson, MMT, MT-BC, PMH-C (she/they) is a board-certified music therapist who is busy dreaming and working toward a better, more just, and connected world, one musical moment at a time.

Maryrose works primarily with children, young adults, and pregnant/postpartum families, and holds a special passion for LGBTQIA+ folks. She practices from an expansive, systems-focused lens that addresses how a person exists within interconnected systems. She strives to empower people to get in touch with their own musicality or relationship to music, believing that people are intrinsically musical in nature regardless of background or experience. This connection to music connects us to ourselves, our communities, and with the universe.

Maryrose received their Master’s in Music Therapy with Counseling Endorsement from Slippery Rock University, a Bachelor’s in Music Therapy from Eastern Michigan University, and is a certified Perinatal Mental Health Practitioner through Postpartum Support International.

Maryrose can be found reading, making music, being in nature, and spending time with their chosen family.
