Message from our Founder

Our Mission

Our mission is to help every child reach their fullest potential at school, at home, as well as in the community. We take a whole-child, family-centered approach to pediatric therapy, and we hire clinicians who are just as committed to quality, compassion, and evidence-based treatment as we are.

If that sounds like you, we invite you to join our mission.

Our Philosophy & Approach

We believe in a whole-child, family-centered approach. Every child deserves care that supports their growth for success in all areas of life. That’s why our therapists work collaboratively to help each child reach their fullest potential.

We’re looking for clinicians who share our passion for helping children thrive. If you can see the potential in every child, value teamwork, and want to create meaningful change in the lives of children and their families, you’ll feel right at home here.

Meet the Owner of Stepping Stones Therapy

As a leader, Brock is hands-on and approachable. He makes it a point to connect personally with families, staff, and the community he serves. His goal is to provide exceptional therapists with the tools they need to care for their patients.

Our Core Values
