Creative Therapy Adelaide's mission is to help as many people as possible access the benefits of being creative. We offer creative, research-informed, and strengths-based services in our music therapy and speech therapy. We work collaboratively to nurture individual capabilities, kick goals and realise the creative potential in each unique person.

Natalie Oliveri founded Creative Therapy Adelaide with a vision to provide high quality, creative therapy in the community. Her passion is to work with people of all ages to build their capacity for daily functioning and to improve their health and well being through musical engagement and activities. Natalie's mission has been to build a team that can carry the Creative Therapy values that hinge on understanding a person's strengths and building on those to help them to achieve their goals.

Natalie began her music therapy career after obtaining post-graduate qualifications in the Masters in Music Therapy through the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music's Music Therapy training program. She started out facilitating classroom-based music therapy programs to children 5-18 years with profound and multiple disabilities at a special education centre in Adelaide and was shaped as a music therapist through her role as Clinical Specialist with Sing&Grow Australia delivering music therapy services to children 0-5 years and their parents in the community. This work took her home visiting and providing group sessions for families experiencing hardship, mental illness, those engaged with child protection services, families with children with disabilities and families that wanted to aid their children's development through music.

Today Natalie continues to advocate for music therapy as a practice and profession, with a mission to provide greater access to creative therapies (and music!) in her community.
