Karen Nisenson, Music and Creative Arts Therapist in Westport, CT
The key to unlocking the potential of a child or adult with autism or special needs lies in connection, understanding, and acceptance. With the right support, growth, confidence, and self-awareness become a reality.
With over 35 years of experience in music therapy and creative arts therapy, I help families throughout Fairfield County and beyond discover new ways to connect, communicate, and thrive. My work supports children, adults, and their families through individualized therapy, consultations, and piano lessons designed to enhance natural strengths and encourage lasting development.
