Therapy
GroWild is proud to partner with Optimal Therapy Works to provide high-quality pediatric and family therapy services.
Our pediatric therapy programs use play-based, evidence-informed approaches to support children’s motor, sensory, and emotional development in a fun, nurturing, and engaging environment.
Our family therapy services include parent coaching and direct support for neurodiverse adults—especially those who received a later-in-life diagnosis. We specialize in helping late-diagnosed parents understand their identity, build confidence, and navigate parenting with greater clarity and connection.
Optimal Therapy Works offers services at both the GroWild location and through their equine-assisted therapy program in Ridgefield, WA.
