Meet Daniel Goldschmidt MM, MT-BC (they/them) - a music therapist who's committed to constant growth and doing better each day. Daniel believes in breaking free from binary thinking and challenging societal norms that box us in.
With over a decade of experience in music therapy, Daniel has worked with individuals from all walks of life - from toddlers to centenarians, people from diverse racial, ethnic, and religious backgrounds, neurodivergent individuals, LGBTQIA+ communities, and people with various other identities.
Daniel earned their Bachelor's degree in music therapy from the University of Kansas in 2013, followed by a Master's degree (with a certificate in gender, power, and difference) from Colorado State University in 2020. They are currently a member of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion committee for the Great Lakes Region of the American Music Therapy Association.
Daniel's dedication to education and advocacy extends far beyond music therapy. They've completed trainings in music cognition research, music therapy and autistic folks, and a 40-hour training on advocating for victims of sexual assault. Daniel has delivered keynote speeches, trainings, and presentations around the world, including discussions on addressing white supremacy in healthcare in South Africa, Manitoba, California, and Minnesota. They've also given talks on music cognition and musical intervention, including keynotes for the Virginia Association of Licensed Child Placing Agencies, the Virginia Occupational Therapy Association, and a TEDx talk.
