Kristen has been one of our most important resources as parents of a child with Sensory Processing Disorder. The work she has done with our son (and us!) has not only helped him to function better in all aspects of his life, it’s also given him valuable tools and self confidence that he will carry with him as an adult. The relationship that our family has established with her is invaluable to us! ​- Molly, parent

From our founder Dr. Kristen:

I love working with children and families because there is power in building a strong connection in families.  I started my own practice because I wanted to empower families and children to overcome obstacles together.  Therapy has the most success when it involves the family-not just therapist and child.   There should also be flexibility for treatment to take place in the most meaningful place for the family-whether that's the clinic or your home.
Practicing this way meant getting away from models of practice that revolve around “medical problems” and what insurance wants. In the end, therapy isn’t just about checking off some box, it’s about working towards real goals because we know these things matter right now and in the long run. 
So, I left the traditional therapy model to be free from rigid scheduling and child drop-off structure to build a program that involves parents and gives flexibility to address the broad spectrum of childhood challenges

We loved having Kristen work with our three-year-old daughter!  She was an extremely picky eater, and as her paren​ts we were worried that she was not getting the nutrition that her growing body needed.  Kristen made her feel so comfortable at the table that she would try things that she would have never tried with us!  She began to have a better appetite and to be more open to eating new foods.  Dinner time was no longer the battle ground that it once was.  Our daughter had a blast working with Kristen- she looked forward to her appointments every week!  We also acquired the tools we needed to effectively help our daughter eat well.  Thank you, Kristen!
​-Megan, parent
