Tatum Kline joined the Alliance Music Therapy team in July 2022 as an independent contractor to assist in furthering our team’s reach and expand the populations we provide services for in the Elk River and surrounding township areas and even remotely via telehealth.  With her exceptional musical and leadership skills, she has also worked in various positions and settings and even across state lines - from a substitute school age teacher here in the Twin Cities to an Activity Director in memory care, assisted living, and post-acute care in Lakewood, Colorado.  With these experiences, Tatum possesses both clinical and behind the scenes administrative skills which is demonstrated through her incredible resourcefulness, competence, and reliability.  She shares a calming presence with those she meets and a reassuring confidence that will allow you to feel a peace of mind and security while in her care.

 

In her free time, Tatum loves to go camping and on backpacking trips.  She is currently working her way through the entire Superior Hiking Trail, one segment at a time!  She also enjoys cooking and baking, traveling, and spending time with family, friends, and her dog, Banjo.
