Therapy Center of Buda

At Therapy Center of Buda, we provide neuro-affirming, trauma-informed, and LGBTQ+ affirming speech-language and occupational therapy services. We're dedicated to creating an environment that is grounded in social justice, family-centered, and above all, celebrates the beauty of neurodivergence. While our main focus is the 0-21 population, we do make special exceptions for young adults if we feel confident, we are able to offer beneficial supports.

Free consultations are provided over the phone with the Clinic Director and typically last 10-15 minutes. These are extended conversations to see if an evaluation at our facility is appropriate and needed for you or your child. Evaluations are not time based, meaning we evaluate until we feel confident that we have all relevant information to provide competent therapy and supports that are based on the individual's needs. We aim to work to the client's strengths to ensure their success. They are conducted face-to-face and our clinicians employ a variety of standardized, non-standardized, and criterion referenced protocols; depending on the needs of the client. Caregivers or family members are encouraged to stay with the client to ensure all areas of concern are addressed, all questions are answered and recommendations are most appropriate.

Parents/Legal Guardians are provided reports after the formal evaluation and results/recommendations are discussed in order to ensure a team approach to therapy. All treatment sessions offer one-on-one interactions with a licensed therapist in a private office to ensure most optimal outcomes and HIPAA compliance. Family involvement is strongly encouraged and carry-over activities are provided on a regular basis to ensure generalization of therapeutic progress.

Therapy Center of Buda is proud to be able to provide affordable consultations and guidance for families in unique circumstances. Amy, clinic director and owner, is an AuDHDer (Autistic and ADHD) and is our lead speech-language pathologist. Her special focus includes Autism, ADHD, and trauma that is common amongst AuDHDer, Autistic, and ADHDer communities. She also provides formal evaluations to identify if an individual is Autistic. You may learn more about Autism/PDA testing HERE. We practice the neurodiversity model and offer affirming therapies to all of our clients. TCOB proudly is a founding practice of the Therapist Neurodiversity Collective.

The neurodiversity model of therapy values all minds and acknowledges that variations in thinking are natural and endless. In this mindset we focus on the strengths of the client rather that pathologize "deficits."

Maintaining Our Safe Space

Vaccine Policy

We require all children attending in-person sessions to be up-to-date on immunizations, as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). This requirement applies to the core childhood vaccination schedule and excludes seasonal or optional vaccines like flu and COVID-19. Medical exemptions are accepted with documentation from a medical doctor. Telehealth sessions are available, when appropriate, for families who do not adhere to the AAP vaccination guidelines.

BIPOC
Allies

We are committed allies to BIPOC communities, taking particular care to support and protect undocumented immigrants, providing safe, respectful, and confidential care.

No ABA

We are a neurodiversity-affirming practice and do not offer ABA services. We believe that ABA and behavioral methodologies are fundamentally contradictory to the principles of neurodiversity-affirming therapies. We support individuals outside of ABA programs and those recovering from ABA-related trauma.

LGBTQ+
Allies

We are a dedicated safe haven for the LGBTQ+ community. We understand the importance of protection and advocacy, and we are committed to ensuring your safety, privacy, and well-being.

Masking
Policy

While prioritizing the health of our most vulnerable clients, we offer flexible masking options: therapists mask at their discretion, and families can request their therapist(s) do so. Clients with sniffles, allergies, or other symptoms will be asked to mask, while others may choose based on their comfort.
