About Us

Hi! We are so glad that you’re here!

Therapy Adventures started as a dream. After working in a variety of settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, early intervention, schools, telehealth, and home health, with a variety of patients we felt limited in the quality of services we could provide and knew we could do better. We believed our families deserved better, so we decided to build something better.

We believe therapy should be a collaborative, family-centered experience. We are the experts in pediatric therapy and YOU are the expert on your child. Together we make a great team! Therapy Adventures offers evidence-based speech language therapy, feeding therapy and occupational therapy for children ages 0 - 18 years old. We work together with families to set and meet goals for your child. Your input is valued every step of the way to ensure that this experience is a positive one for everyone involved. We know that children learn better when they are having fun, so that’s what we do! Our name was inspired by a child working with us that said, “I love coming to therapy because it’s so fun! It’s like my therapy adventure!”

Just as no child is alike, no adventure is exactly the same. Every hero has their own journey. Here at Therapy Adventures, your child is the hero in their own story, and we can’t wait to see what they will achieve!
