Empowering Kids Pediatric Therapy

Empowering Kids Pediatric Therapy Empowering Kids Pediatric Therapy is a private practice owned and operated by Melissa Philippsen.

Empowering Kids Pediatric Therapy offers a fun and welcoming environment geared toward assisting your child in achieving their Speech, Language, and Fine Motor skill goals. Our goal is to individually work with your child in order to best support him or her in achieving their communication and fine motor skill potential. We use play based therapy to keep your child engaged and encourage generalization of skills to his/her natural environment. Our team is dedicated to creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment for your child. It is our goal to provide your child with high quality, individualized therapy sessions. We are honored to work with children in our community to achieve their highest potential in their speech, language and fine motor skills. Our speech and occupational therapists will engage your child in a friendly, fun way as they challenge them to work towards their goals. We enjoy working alongside families in order to teach them strategies to use at home, so that the child can work on their skills throughout the week, and make gains more quickly.

Happy 2nd "workiversary" to Miss Patia!

We have all learned so much from Miss Patia! She's a sensory processing queen and is always willing to share her knowledge with her coworkers and clients' caregivers!

We are grateful for Miss Patia's dedication to growing as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist over the past 2 years at Empowering Kids! She's helped our clients to organize their sensory systems, integrate visual processing, and increase their fine and gross motor skills.

Miss Patia continues to help her clients improve their quality of life and is always willing to collaborate with her coworkers. We are so happy to celebrate her being part of our team for 2 years!

Happy 1st "workiversary" to Miss Tori!

Everyone loves Miss Tori! She's quickly become many of our clients' favorite therapist! She brings creativity and energy to her sessions, ensuring her clients have a fun time while working towards their goals!

She's also a vital member of the office staff. Miss Tori can -and does- do it all! She helps make materials, cleans, organizes things in the office, leans a listening ear to her coworkers, and helps with administrative tasks.

We'd all be lost without Miss Tori! Thank you for a great first year!
