About The Floortime Center

At The Floortime Center, we provide a wide range of services to families affected by learning and behavioral challenges. Our programs integrate Floortime’s social-emotional goals and techniques with Speech and Language Pathology, Occupational Therapy, Social Groups, and other important services to help establish and strengthen key skills such as communication, thinking, self-control, and flexibility. An outcome study showed lasting improvements in these skills among families who had participated in our intensive programs during a period of quarantine. Additionally, our focus is on ‘parent-involved’ programs, which can make a profound difference in the lives of individuals and families alike.

Is online therapy actually effective?
Research shows that for many issues—such as anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties—online therapy can be just as effective as in-person sessions. What often matters most is finding a therapist you connect with and staying consistent over time.

When is online therapy a better fit than in-person?
Online therapy is ideal if you:
  • have a busy or changing schedule,
  • live far from providers or have limited transport,
  • prefer the privacy and comfort of your own space,
  • travel frequently or split time between locations.
For many people, this flexibility is what makes it possible to actually stay in therapy.
Explore flexible online therapy options →
Is online therapy private and secure?
Reputable online therapy platforms use encrypted connections and secure apps that are designed for confidential healthcare communication. Sessions are held in a private space of your choosing, which can feel safer than a public waiting room.
See trusted online therapy platforms →
How do costs compare with in-person therapy?
Online therapy can sometimes be more affordable overall: there are no travel costs, less time away from work or family, and many platforms offer predictable weekly pricing. The value often comes from being able to attend regularly without extra friction.
