By partnering with such organizations as the American Music Therapy Association, and individual artists, such as Steven Halpern or Oliver Sacks, MGN members who wish to gain certification in this field can do so, and then be shepherded into practice using MGN networks.

Music therapist licensing can be done on MGN systems, as well as client procurement, professional practice promotions, and liaision with Music Researchers who collect clinical data.

Because of the inherent metaphysical ramifications of music, MGN support for music therapists can go well beyond the strictly psychiatric or sociological, and include such applications as venue enhancement, concert and event planning, mass media and psycho-social projects, and interdisciplinary excursions into Chinese Medicine, Energy Medicine, and spiritual/religious practices.

Music therapy is particularly suited for remote applications. An MGN Music Therapist Member would be able to interview a potential client, develop a "prescription" via clinical software, and deliver the therapy to the client all within the MGN space. Any additional imaging can also be easily accomplished, along with consultation scheduling, video/audio conferencing, and accounting within MGN. In the case of a desired face-to-face with local therapists and clients, any pre-consultation questionnaires, background information, and other preferences can be completed online prior to the face-to-face, and followup can be done online to save both time and money for practitioner and client.
