About Us

At Whole Child Therapy Services, we not only take a whole-brain approach to our therapy, but also engage in neurodiversity affirming practices in order to allow a child to gain the support they need in order to feel successful. Careful consideration of each child's learning preference, strengths, and interests allows our team to ensure our therapy sessions are meaningful and fun! 

 

It is our commitment to highlight each child's strengths and create an environment where children and families feel safe to explore new skills, celebrate accomplishments, and to develop self-confidence.

 

Families are always invited to be active participants during our sessions. We understand the importance of empowering parents and dedicate time in each session to teach parents the skills to support their children in reaching their full potential.
