As someone who was already familiar with DBT skills through conference sessions and introductory opportunities offered by The Spiegel Academy, I was initially uncertain about the added value of completing the DBT-informed Music Therapy Intensive Training. However, this training provided a depth and breadth of application that far exceeded my expectations. The content was comprehensive, evidence-informed, and highly relevant to clinical practice. I gained concrete strategies that have significantly enhanced my effectiveness as a music therapy clinician, and I have also found the skills personally beneficial. This training represents an excellent investment for professionals seeking to integrate DBT-informed approaches into their work with clients.

This is from Amy Troyano: It was a very informative and comprehensive course!

This intro to DBT contained excellent information that will be easily applied to my practice.

The Spiegel Academy has a comprehensive assortment of CE’s that are engaging and relevant. I particularly enjoy the Inner Circle, the peer supervision group that occurs virtually each month. I would encourage all MT-BC people to enroll in the program that allows full access.

Tools for Effective Guided Imagery is an excellent and useful course! Deborah gives step by step instructions and techniques for helping the client express and define his/her own goals and aspirations. The client's own words are then used by the therapist as the client is guided to a safe and restorative inner world through guided imagery. This is a valuable tool for music therapists!

Great learning opportunity!

This course was excellent and highly information--thank you for offering it! (Best Practices for Music Therapists and Providers Working with Transgender, Non-Binary, or Gender Expansive Clients)

I have been using the Spiegel Academy for about 7 years now, and have consistently experienced quality continuing education programs at great prices! I also had to contact support in the past, and was very satisfied with the customer service.I highly recommend this platform to Music Therapists and other professionals wishing to expand their practice.

The ethics seminar was very good. It offered a great reminder of the ethics that we as music therapists need to abide by. The 1 assignment was good because it made you think of a scenario of an ethical dilemma or made you revisit one that you may have experienced. Feed back was given in a very timely manner. Thank you for this seminar.

The CMTE Club is an affordable way to earn CMTE classes. There is an extensive library of classes to choose from which will enhance your skills as a music therapist. Deborah and her staff are very helpful and the teachers are very well qualified.

A couple years since I completed my DBt training and I’m begin grateful that I did it. Becoming a DBT Informed MT helped me SO much - professionally & personally. It led me to a new position in a different place where I have felt so much more confident because of DBT learned and practiced. Thanks Deborah & team!

I love the Spiegel Academy. Every CE class that I have taken has been very informative and has included practical skills and musical experience which I use regularly in my Music Therapy practice. The Supervision group is also a great way to connect with other Music Therapy Professionals. This is a great way to improve your Music Therapy toolbox, find professional support, and meet your certification requirements. Thank you for all that you do, Deborah!

The courses are practical, inspiring, and easy to apply right away. Deborah and her team genuinely care about helping music therapists grow, and the flexibility and support they offer make learning a great experience. I highly recommend The Spiegel Academy to anyone looking to expand their skills and feel re-energized in their work!

Since becoming a student of the Spiegel Academy for its in-depth training program, my confidence and competence as an allied health professional has elevated beyond my expectations. I am extremely pleased with the training thus far and look forward to completing the program soon.

The Spiegel Academy is a great place to learn and grow as a music therapist.

I absolutely LOVE The Spiegel Academy! They have an awesome line-up of CMTE courses in a wide variety of topics. But my favorite is the yearlong DBT Informed Music Therapy training! It not only changed my MT practice helping me find the language and interventions to teach my clients life changing skills but it changed my life personally as well! The DBT skills relate to ALL populations and all ages so basically if you work with humans, you need this course! Thank you Deborah Spiegel for making this class possible!

I have, for the past year, been engaged in the "deep dive" as part of a cohort learning and integrating DBT skills not only into our professional practice, but also into our lives. I have used these skills to incorporate into Music Therapy treatment interventions with adults and adolescents receiving mental health services. Their feedback to me is probably the best endorsement of the DBT training that could be offered. I look forward to carrying these skills forward to additional locations and populations because they are adaptable across the board to many specific needs and services. Thank you to the instructing team, and to the "Ambassadors" for the shared insight, experience, and guidance through consultations, supervision and "just being there".
