The Rebecca Center for Music Therapy began in 1999 when certified music therapist John Carpente created Music for Living, an organization providing music therapy services to children with special needs and to persons afflicted with HIV/AIDS and substance abuse. In February of 2000, Music for Living developed an on-site, out-patient music therapy clinic in Melville, New York servicing special needs' children ages 3-15 with various disabilities.

In 2001, Music for Living incorporated as a non-profit organization and became "The Rebecca Center, Inc." and in 2002 received its 501(c) 3 non-profit status. In June 2002, The Rebecca Center for Music Therapy dramatically expanded its services by opening a music therapy clinic on the campus of Molloy College in Rockville Centre, New York. The Molloy College facility is the first music therapy center in Nassau County.

Since 2002 The Rebecca Center, through outreach and its on-site clinic, has served hundreds of special needs people throughout Long Island and New York.
