Offering Programs Inside and Outside the Clinic

Our unique approach to therapy prioritizes the ultimate goal of success outside of the clinic. To do that, we have created a variety of programs, from one-on-one sessions, to group wellness programs to community advocacy. You will find our staff in our clinic, on a local trail, on a bike path, in the park or speaking with community programs and advocating for adaptive classes. We are dedicated to creating opportunities for success beyond the clinic.
