Getting Started with Therapy

The following therapies are offered in our Asheville, NC clinic. Please visit each page below to learn more.

ABA Therapy

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is a form of therapy that helps children with autism spectrum disorders, ages 2-12 years old. ABA therapy uses a one-on-one teaching approach to help children through reinforcement of desired behaviors.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy helps children develop the skills needed for daily living. OT can help with sensory integration, fine motor/visual skills, social skills, play, feeding and self-care.

Speech Therapy

Speech is a crucial tool in aiding your child’s development and learning. Speech therapy helps to treat disorders of speech, language, communication, swallowing/feeding and more. Our therapists create individualized plans of treatment to help your child function more independently and improve their quality of life.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapists are movement experts who optimize quality of life through prescribed exercise, hands-on care, and patient education. Physical therapists teach patients and families how to prevent or manage their condition so that they will achieve long-term health benefits.

Counseling

Counseling is talk therapy between the patient and a licensed counselor. Counselors help kids and parents cope with the day to day challenges of life and create solutions together so that the patient can live life to the fullest.

Cindy W.

Cindy Walker, MS, OTR/L, has been working as an occupational therapist for over 22 years. She worked in the early intervention setting early in her career and then transitioned to a Children's Hospital, with a wonderful opportunity to gain experience in working in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care unit) setting. She joined the PAT family in 2011, where she fell in love with the wonderful colleagues around her and with the state-of-the-art facilities that she gets to treat in daily. Cindy has extensive pediatric training in the areas of pediatric feeding, sensory integration, reflex integration, early intervention, and breathing courses.

Stephanie V.

Stephanie is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Masters in Social Work from the JMSW program in Greensboro NC and Bachelors in Social Work from Appalachian State University. She has experience in supporting children who have experienced trauma, the neurodivergent population, and those that are still learning how to navigate all the twists and turns of life as a kid. Stephanie believes the importance of meeting each person where they are in that moment and that therapy is not a one size fits all approach. You can find Stephanie mostly using play therapy, solution-focused brief therapy, social skills training, cognitive behavioral therapy, and incorporating sensory play.
