Ethics Credit
Presenter: Dalena Watson, LPC, FAMI, MT-BC, EMDR clinician
If ethical thinking in music therapy was complex before 2026, it certainly hasn’t gotten any simpler. As music therapists, we integrate layers and layers of information in our ethical decision-making process, considering codes, laws, regulations, and much more. And if that weren’t enough, we have entered an age of new technology including artificial intelligence. Whether you are a new clinician or have been practicing for years, there is always a new angle to consider. Learn from Dalena Watson, a Licensed Professional Counselor, EMDR clinician, Fellow of the Association for Music and Imagery, and Board Certified-Music Therapist. With over 30 years of experience in ethical decision-making spanning the fields of music therapy and counseling, Dalena brings a depth of knowledge and real-world considerations to this important topic. This course is preapproved for 3 ethics credits through CBMT. Options available upon registration for in-person or online attendance.
