Testimonials

My daughter has been treated by several therapists and they are all so cool and professional with her. She loves to go there and they are always happy to see us. The employees at the desk are great too. If I could give them 10 *'s, I would give them 10!

​​"My family and I are forever grateful for he care Empower has provided our child. We have worked with several therapists and each is superb!!! Administrative staff are always friendly and helpful. They helped us with submitting claims to our insurance company to get reimbursement. The clinic is air conditioned, four therapy rooms. If you don't want to sit in on the session the therapy rooms have a one way glass window to look through. I love the visuals and pecs in the waiting room to help communicate to your child about waiting for their therapist. I also appreciated the bulletin board full of info about local resources and communication tips. If your child needs speech therapy - call these amazing people!"

ā€œWe had been worried for a long time and didn’t know what therapy and early intervention would look like. Empower made us feel at ease from the start, breaking down exactly what we can be working on every day. I worked with multiple teachers and supervisors and all had valuable advice, and you can tell they care. I also liked the appointment reminders and admin helping make sure we take advantage of all our authorized therapy hours."

Philosophy

Each person already carries within them a rich inner world of thoughts, emotions, desires, and ideas. Our role is to bring our expertise in development together with each family’s deep knowledge of their loved one, partnering to understand unique needs and identify the most supportive path forward.

We believe meaningful growth happens when clients feel safe, enjoy the process, and build warm, trusting relationships with their therapist — and when families and therapists are truly aligned. When trust and connection are present, progress often follows in powerful and sometimes unexpected ways.

 

 

Why Us?

We use evidence-based, individualized approaches that are thoughtful, intentional, and practical. Our goal is to help each client develop functional, meaningful communication and life skills that build confidence, independence, and active participation in daily life.

 

We follow developmental, neurodiversity-affirming practices and focus on supporting self-reliance — not long-term dependence on therapy.

 

ā€œEmpowerment begins when we trust that what a person needs to grow already exists within them — our role is to support it.ā€
