PNW Music Therapy, LLC uses music to explore new potentials in creative expression, movement, coping, and pain and anxiety reduction. Using key components of music such as rhythm, tempo and activities such as singing, instrument playing, and listening to music, our Board Certified Music Therapists use music to address therapeutic goals.
