Chey has also served on music therapy committees on both the regional and national levels through the American Music Therapy Association, including completing a term as part of the Executive Board of the Mid-Atlantic Region of the American Music Therapy Association.

Chey considers herself most drawn to community-based music therapy and practices with a Humanistic and Existential theoretical orientation. She actively seeks to practice with an anti-racist lens and puts great personal and professional focus on topics of social justice and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Chey firmly believes that inclusion and accessibility to music education and therapy for all is a key component in community building and belonging.

When not doing music therapy, she continues to enjoy learning a variety of instruments and performing on her oboe in pit orchestras and other groups in the area, including Firebird Pops Orchestra.
