Once we receive the order for therapy services from your physician, your initial consultation will be scheduled. Your therapist will review your history and work with you to evaluate your problems, strengths/weaknesses, and areas of concern. This initial assessment, combined with your personal goals, will serve as the baseline for developing an appropriate and highly individualized treatment plan. We provide services for all ages and diagnosis.

Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
