Laughing Giraffe Therapy

We’ve been coming to Laughing Giraffe occupational therapy clinic for over 10 years (with some breaks in between), and I can wholeheartedly say it’s one of the few truly neurodiversity-affirming spaces out there. The therapists here are not only skilled but also deeply accepting, compassionate, and attuned to the whole body-mind connection. What stands out the most is how individualized the care is—not just for the client, but for the whole family. The OTs consistently check in with parents, genuinely listen, and collaborate instead of pushing their own agenda. As a parent, I feel heard, supported, and part of the team. Our current therapist is absolutely wonderful. She allows my non-speaking teen to lead the session at their own pace while gently guiding them toward a variety of meaningful skills each week. It’s rare to find professionals who truly observe body language, respect autonomy, and align therapy with the client’s interests, needs, and readiness. Even though this is a private-pay clinic, they provide superbills for insurance reimbursement, and the quality of care is absolutely worth it. My child actually looks forward to going to therapy—a testament to the warmth, respect, and joy infused into each visit. The owner is just as incredible: enthusiastic, welcoming, and an excellent listener. This clinic is a gem in the therapeutic world, especially for families seeking respectful, individualized, and neurodiversity-affirming care.

I had heard great things about Laughing Giraffe over the years, and am glad I finally started my son in therapy here late last year. Our OT Cole has been amazing, as well as the owner, Aaron. It's such a welcoming, accepting environment for kids, and there's so many toys and equipment for kids to practice their motor skills + general skills to work on. Cole is very attuned to my son and they have always given great advice and insight. In addition, I appreciate the flexibility of the business itself. Many clinics are very strict in their requirements and are not very flexible in terms of scheduling. Laughing Giraffe is very understanding if you need to adjust your session times or take a break and keep your spot open, for example.

They have been amazing. Ms. Geneva helped target my sons needs and he is improving as compared to our experiences in other places we didn’t see much improvement. Everyone is kind, loving and support. We highly recommend this place.

I have no words to describe how lucky we are to have found this amazing clinic and most of all, Aaron. Aaron is not only a phenomenal professional but also a truly exceptional person. His unique approach to children, along with his endless love, care and patience, sets him apart. He is exactly the kind of adult you would want in your child’s life. From my very first phone call with Aaron, I immediately felt I was in good hands and had finally found the right place after a long search. His passion, energy, and dedication are extraordinary, even after so many years of experience. He constantly strives to give more, empower and to bring out the best in every child. We have only been there for three months, and already it brings out the best in my son during each appointment from the first appointment. He is happy, confident, and fully engaged throughout the sessions, and the positive impact is clearly noticeable outside the clinic. The clinic itself is like heaven for kids, filled with games, facilities and crafts. My son loves going there from the very first moment. I truly hope you are fortunate enough to find an available time slot, as this clinic is in high demand and for good reason. It will make a meaningful and lasting impact on your child, starting from the very first appointment.

We have only started a short while ago and I can already see a difference in my little girl. She is open to playing more with others and expressing her emotions. I’m so happy we found Laughing Giraffe, I feel both my children will grow and come into their own during their time here!
