Family Tree Therapies triples space, doubles staff with move to new location

After more than three years in the Eastown business district, Family Tree Therapies has announced a new home at 2251 East Paris.

Family Tree Therapies was founded over ten years ago, when co-owners Terri Cooper and Stacy Pulley identified an opportunity in West Michigan for early intervention techniques based on the needs of West Michigan children with diagnoses such as Down Syndrome, autism, sensory processing disorders, ADD and ADHD. The private clinic specializes in occupational and speech therapy for children ranging in age from premature babies through teens and offers specialized developmental and educational therapies.

The new location features 9,000 square feet of space that will allow families more parking availability, waiting room comfort and overall flexibility. The space will also allow the clinic to double their staff size. Pulley say they are planning to add 10 new therapists in 2015. "We were running out of room," she says, of their previous location.

Pulley says most of their clients come from West Michigan but they also draw from wider geographic area for their unique team and group approach to therapy. No referral is necessary and Family Tree Therapies accepts a variety of insurances, including Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Priority Healthy, and Aetna.

To celebrate the move, the organization will be hosting a "New Year, New Location" Open House Celebration on Thursday, January 8, 2015, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
