Individualized Therapy for Clients from Birth Through Age 30

Arbor Therapy began in 2017 with a vision for a different kind of therapy practice. What started small has grown into four Arizona clinics offering multidisciplinary therapy services for clients from birth through age 30. By bringing multiple therapy disciplines together in one practice, we can make care more convenient for clients and caregivers while giving our therapists opportunities to collaborate when clients need support in more than one area.

Our clinics are also designed around the work we do, with dedicated feeding kitchens, sensory gyms, social rooms, movement spaces, and private treatment rooms that give our therapists flexibility to personalize care.

Through it all, our goal is to create a place where clients and caregivers feel welcomed, individuals receive personalized care, and our team has the support they need to do their best work.

Hear from Arbor Therapy Families

See what clients and caregivers have shared about their experiences with Arbor Therapy and our team.

In a medical world that focuses on paperwork and procedures, it is often hard to get a facility that really cares. Arbor Therapy cares.

“My wife has been receiving Speech Therapy at Arbor with Michelle since her stroke in 2022. Even though this is a "child clinic", Michelle has been the best - even better than the other speech therapists my wife has seen. She is compassionate, very kind, effective and works with my wife at "her pace." In a medical world that focuses on paperwork and procedures, it is often hard to get a facility that really cares. Arbor Therapy cares. They have always put my wife first. Eureka, the practice manager, has worked with me directly, assisting with scheduling and potential insurance concerns. Instead of taking a forceful, procedural approach and mandate... she was very tentative to our needs and was able to create a plan that worked for us. Again... you could tell.... it was all about finding the best outcome for my wife and I... not just what the clinic required due to insurance guidelines. Thank you Arbor, Michelle and Eureka... you have made this part of my life easy at a time when it is "not so easy".... God bless you....”

Dr. Craig Roles, DABCI, DCBCN

They truly listen and respect the needs of both the child and the parents. We are so grateful for the care and support our child receives here.

“We’ve had a wonderful experience at Arbor Therapy! The front desk staff are always kind and welcoming, which makes our child feel comfortable right away. OT Mr. Jaemey and PT Ms. Mauri are both very professional, patient, and attentive. They truly listen and respect the needs of both the child and the parents. We are so grateful for the care and support our child receives here. Highly recommend Arbor Therapy!”

They never made me feel like my son was being forgotten. I will always recommend this place!

“Arbor Therapy was amazing to my son Oliver. Michelle and Jovanna are the best speech therapy professionals, they are attentive to the child’s needs and accommodate times for therapy for parents. My son had a little graduation ceremony and he felt so proud of finishing speech therapy. He will forever remember his experience here at Arbor. They never made me feel like my son was being forgotten or not given the proper attention to his needs. I will always recommend this place!”

Many offices wouldn't go above and beyond like they did. We are so impressed by Arbor and happy our son goes here.

“I can't say enough kind things about Arbor therapy! They are wonderful and we've noticed so many improvements with our son. They also have flexible hours for working parents (our appointments are after 5pm and on the weekend so we don't have to skip work.) We had an issue with our insurance that they only wanted to pay 20 sessions a year. Arbor let us know weeks in advance so we were not surprised with a big bill. Despite insurance saying we couldn't appeal, the office filed an appeal anyway and the insurance decided to pay. Many offices wouldn't go above and beyond to help like that. We are so impressed by Arbor and happy our son goes there”

She really focused on what I needed and my progress improved week after week. I am so grateful for her help and professionalism.

“I am a teacher who was diagnosed with lymphoma which affected my brain and my central nervous system. I was determined to get back to teaching but needed help with tracking reading and memory and visual discrimination among other things. Joanna was my therapist who developed a plan to work on these areas with me. She really focussed on what I needed and my progress improved week after week. I am so grateful for her help and professionalism. I would strongly recommend her.”
