About Therapy Clubhouse

Pediatric Therapy Built Around Children and Families

At Therapy Clubhouse, we believe that every child deserves a space where their unique strengths are celebrated, their challenges are understood, and their growth feels joyful, not stressful. Our multidisciplinary team provides compassionate, evidence-based pediatric therapy designed to support communication, emotional development, sensory regulation, and independence across early childhood.

Therapy Clubhouse provides in-home and telehealth services today; our Westlake Village clinic opens December 1, 2026.

Our Story

Therapy Clubhouse program was created around a simple belief: children grow best when they feel safe, seen, and supported. Many families begin their therapy journey feeling unsure where to start, what kind of help their child needs, or how to navigate the traditional clinic experience. We wanted to make that process feel more personal, more accessible, and more connected to the places where children already feel grounded. Every child’s path is unique. We are honored to walk alongside each family with care, patience, and practical support.

Our Mission

Our mission is to create a therapy experience that feels personal, supportive, and collaborative. We value quality over quantity, taking the time to build meaningful relationships with the children and families we serve. By partnering closely with parents and caregivers, we help create lasting progress that extends beyond therapy sessions and into everyday life.

Our Care Philosophy

Our Care Philosophy

We believe therapy works best when it feels warm, practical, and rooted in real connection. Instead of relying on rigid drills, our therapists use meaningful interactions, playful activities, movement, routines, and relationship-based strategies shaped around each child’s sensory, emotional, communication, and developmental needs. Our therapists meet children where they are. We honor each child’s pace, personality, strengths, and challenges while helping them build skills that matter in daily life. This personalized approach supports confidence, communication, emotional development, functional independence, and lifelong learning.

Compassionate Pediatric Therapy Care

At Therapy Clubhouse, children grow through warmth, connection, and playful learning. Our multidisciplinary team brings together speech therapy, occupational therapy, early intervention, and parent guidance to help children build communication, confidence, regulation, and independence in a way that feels natural and encouraging.

Private In-Home Therapy in Ventura and Los Angeles Counties

Private in-home pediatric therapy gives children the opportunity to grow in a space that already supports emotional safety and comfort. Many communication, sensory, regulation, motor, and developmental skills become stronger when they are practiced inside the same rooms, routines, and family interactions a child experiences every day.

What's Next: Our Westlake Village Clinic Opens December 1, 2026

Therapy Clubhouse is opening a physical clinic in Westlake Village on December 1, 2026, adding an in-clinic option alongside the home visits we already make from Ventura and Oxnard through the Conejo Valley and much of the San Fernando Valley to Santa Monica and Burbank, and telehealth anywhere in California.

For years, we’ve delivered therapy where children live their lives. On December 1, 2026, we open the kind of space we always wished existed: a pediatric therapy clinic in Westlake Village with a full sensory gym and light-filled speech rooms. In-home and telehealth care continue unchanged. The clubhouse is simply getting a home.

Questions? We make this part easy. Call (805) 702-3427 for a free 15-minute consultation, in-home and telehealth pediatric therapy are available now, and our Westlake Village clinic opens December 1, 2026.

As of October 2026, we can start an evaluation within 3 business days of your free call. Your child’s first session can be as soon as 5 days after you call, for in-home and telehealth. Some private in-clinic sessions are also available on request.

Childhood development: by the numbers

Developmental and communication differences are a common part of childhood. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that about 1 in 6 children ages 3 to 17 (17%) has one or more developmental disabilities, and CDC’s most recent ADDM Network data identify about 1 in 31 children aged 8 years (3.2%) with autism spectrum disorder. The National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders reports that approximately 1 in 14 children ages 3 to 17 (7.2%) has had a disorder related to voice, speech, or language in the past 12 months, that speech sound disorders affect 8 to 9% of young children, and that stuttering occurs most often in children between the ages of 2 and 6. Across all of these areas, early speech and occupational therapy give children the best opportunity to build skills during the years when development moves fastest.

M.S., CCC-SLP

Co-Founder & Speech-Language Pathologist

I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist and co-founder of Therapy Clubhouse, serving infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents throughout Westlake Village, the Conejo Valley, and surrounding communities. I earned both my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Communicative Disorders and Sciences from California State University, Northridge (CSUN), and hold my Certificate of Clinical Competence (CCC-SLP) through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), as well as California licensure (#38532). My clinical experience spans early intervention, private practice, and school-based settings, including elementary, middle school, high school, and adult transition programs. I have worked with children across a wide range of communication needs, including language delays, late talking, articulation and speech sound disorders, social communication challenges, autism spectrum disorder, and developmental delays. My background in early childhood education and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has further strengthened my ability to support young children and collaborate effectively with families. At Therapy Clubhouse, I provide individualized, evidence-based therapy that is engaging, play-based, and tailored to each child's unique strengths and needs. I believe meaningful progress occurs when children feel supported, motivated, and connected to the learning process. I work closely with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other professionals to ensure that therapy goals carry over into everyday routines and real-life situations. As both a speech-language pathologist and a mother, I understand the excitement, questions, and concerns that can accompany a child's development. My goal is to create a supportive partnership with families while helping each child build the communication skills and confidence needed to succeed at home, at school, and in their community.

CO-FOUNDER & OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST

I am a licensed occupational therapist and co-founder of Therapy Clubhouse, serving infants, toddlers, children, and adolescents throughout Westlake Village, the Conejo Valley, and surrounding communities. I earned my Master of Arts in Occupational Therapy from the University of Southern California (USC) and hold USC's certification in sensory integration training that shapes the way I evaluate and treat the children I work with. I am a Registered and Licensed Occupational Therapist (OTR/L), certified by the National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) and licensed by the California Board of Occupational Therapy (CBOT). My clinical experience spans early intervention, in-home therapy, and clinic-based pediatric care, supporting children across a wide range of needs including sensory processing differences, fine and gross motor delays, motor planning and coordination challenges, autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, and difficulty with everyday independence. At Therapy Clubhouse, I provide individualized, evidence-based occupational therapy that is engaging, play-based, and tailored to each child's unique strengths and needs from sensory regulation and fine motor skills to handwriting readiness, self-care, and confident participation at home and school. I believe meaningful progress happens when therapy connects to a child's real, everyday routines, so I work closely with parents, caregivers, and teachers to make sure strategies carry beyond the session and into daily life. As both an occupational therapist and a mother, I understand the hopes, questions, and concerns that come with a child's development. My goal is to build a supportive partnership with every family while helping each child grow more capable, independent, and confident at home, at school, and in their community.
