Laura Ohms, Lcsw Email & Phone Number

A culmination of my social work skills and passion for music led to the creation of "Music Alive!" a small and growing business serving children and families in the Northwest neighborhoods of Chicago. I create safe musical communities for children and families to enhance their growth and development in fun, creative, and meaningful ways!
