About Us

Founded by Veleka Barbee, our pediatric therapy clinic was created with a vision of providing a welcoming, safe space where children and families in our community can access high-quality mental health services. What began as a commitment to emotional wellness has grown into a comprehensive therapy practice, now offering speech and physical therapy services. Our integrated approach allows us to support the whole child and meet the diverse needs of the families we serve. Supporting children and families through speech, physical, and mental health therapy across Stanly and nearby counties. We provide flexible therapy options including clinic-based care, in-home visits, schools, early learning centers, and telehealth.
