Each time I hear Julie Lipson present, I leave feeling invigorated and excited about the potential for creativity in me and my clients. Julie invites participation with warmth, and makes everyone feel at ease. At the same time, they provide a wealth of information about incorporating creativity into one’s practice." 
-Meredith Barber, Psy.D.
"I had the privilege recently of hearing Julie Lipson present a workshop to a group of experienced group therapists on incorporating music therapy techniques into their work.  Julie gave a highly engaging and polished presentation that was at once thoughtful, relevant, and playful, with a strong participatory component.  I had fun and “stole” a few ideas for my adolescent groups- if you have the chance I strongly recommend hearing them present."
