Noted treatment that might make US mate chirpy (5,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

music therapy

'noted treatment' is the definition.
(therapy using musical notes)

'might make us mate chirpy' is the wordplay.
'might make' indicates an anagram (the letters might make if rearranged).
'us'+'mate'+'chirpy'='usmatechirpy'
'usmatechirpy' is an anagram of 'MUSIC THERAPY'.

'that' is the link.
