About Therapeutic Beginnings

At Therapeutic Beginnings, our mission is to provide families with a warm, supportive environment where they can learn about their child’s developmental needs and how to nurture their capacity to succeed. We use evidence-based practices to treat the whole child, honoring that each is a member of a family unit. Our philosophy is centered on the idea that children learn by playing and interacting with their surroundings; therefore, we strive to make therapy as fun and motivating as possible. Our aim is to help children reach their potential, creating a positive environment that fosters growth and development.

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.

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.

Have questions?

At Therapeutic Beginnings, we understand the importance of early intervention and the importance of speech therapy for autistic children. We provide comprehensive resources to help you determine if your child needs speech therapy, including how to recognize signs such as difficulty responding to questions, starting or ending conversations, changing conversation topics, and understanding body language. Our guide will help you understand the benefits of speech therapy and how it can help your child learn effective ways to communicate, leading to increased independence and confidence. We want to ensure your child has the best possible start, so please reach out to our team if you have any questions about speech therapy.
At Therapeutic Beginnings, our speech therapists can help your child improve their communication skills across all environments. Our team of experts can assist with nonverbal skills, forming speech more clearly, expressing thoughts and feelings, responding to questions, discerning facial expressions, understanding body language, feeding and swallowing, and even stuttering. With the help of our trained professionals, your child can begin on a path of successful communication and flourishing social development.
Contact Phone number is (360) 786-1753.
