Why Choose Thrive Therapy?
We serve children across the greater Charlotte area, including Uptown—at our clinic, in schools, and in their homes. At Thrive Therapy, our mission is rooted in the belief that occupational and speech therapy empower kids to communicate, grow, and live full, confident, and thriving lives. Collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We work closely with parents, educators, and other healthcare professionals to achieve meaningful results—while honoring each child’s unique strengths. Our specialties include sensory processing, fine motor skills, self-help skills, feeding therapy, emotional regulation, speech and language development, articulation, and more. Beyond one-on-one treatment, we offer teacher trainings and in-service workshops packed with practical strategies to support age-appropriate skills in the classroom.

Getting the help your child needs doesn't have to be difficult
At Thrive Therapy, we understand that every child is unique. That's why we take the time to evaluate your child's needs and develop a personalized treatment plan. We strive to make working with us as easy as possible, with a proven process to create the best course of action for your child.
Step 1:Schedule an Initial Intake Call
We believe that working together as a team is essential for progress. That's why step 1 is to discuss with you the different concerns you might have for your child, and what actions you're looking for help with so we have a full understanding of how we can help.
Step 2:Review your Insurance Benefits
Insurance is confusing, but it doesn't have to be. Let us do the heavy lifting for you and find out if our services can be covered by your health insurance.
Step 3:Schedule A Comprehensive Evaluation
Our team of experienced therapists will work closely with your child and perform an in-person, comprehensive evaluation of your child to identify areas where we can make a difference for them. Every child is different, so this step is crucial.
Step 4:Review the plan and begin treatment
Once the evaluation is completed, our team gets together and creates a customized plan of action for your child. We'll work with you and provide all the necessary next steps so that you and your child are comfortable and that you agree with the course of action.

Once we receive the referral, a member of the Thrive Therapy team will contact you to provide intake paperwork. As a courtesy, we verify your benefits and eligibility for therapy services and will reach out within 24 hours of receiving the completed paperwork. During the initial phone consultation, the evaluating therapist will review your intake forms and arrange a time and location for the evaluation—either in the comfort of your home or in your child’s school setting. The evaluation may include standardized testing, clinical observation, and caregiver input. After the evaluation, the therapist will contact you to review the results and discuss recommended next steps.
Treatment sessions typically last 45–60 minutes and use skilled, play-based approaches designed to meet your child at their current level while fostering new growth. Each session blends targeted skill development with activities that highlight and celebrate your child’s unique strengths.
No, a referral isn’t required—we gladly accept referrals from teachers, medical specialists, pediatricians, school directors, and even directly from you!
