Cognitive Stimulation Therapy
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy designed to support increase memory, attention, and mental engagement.
Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) is a structured, evidence-based intervention designed to support memory, attention, language, and executive function skills. Using music as a primary modality, these sessions engage multiple brain areas simultaneously, creating neural pathways that help slow cognitive decline. Activities are therapeutically beneficial and personally meaningful, incorporating familiar music.
These music therapy sessions benefit individuals experiencing mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or early-to-moderate mid stages of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s Disease. Cogntive Stimulation Therapy focuses on maintaining cognitive function, encouraging social interaction, reducing isolation, and supporting mental well-being. As a certified Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) provider through St. Louis University School of Medicine, I deliver standardized protocols clinically proven to improve quality of life for older adults facing memory challenges.
