Our Story
Since its beginning, Radiant Moments Pediatric Therapy has found purpose in helping children develop their communication skills so that their personalities can shine through and they can deepen their relationships with others. We live for the moments when a child tells a joke or says "I love you" for the first time. These are the moments that truly matter.
The practice was inspired by our founder, Caitlin, whose journey as both a speech therapist and a mother gave her a deep understanding of the challenges families face. Like so many parents, she experienced the uncertainty of navigating our healthcare systems, searching for answers, and balancing various appointments—all while trying to focus on those seemingly little moments.
Today, our team of compassionate and skilled therapists carries that vision forward together. At Radiant Moments, we provide comprehensive speech and feeding therapy tailored to each child and family. With diverse expertise and a shared passion for empowering children, we help families find clarity, see their child thrive, and focus on all of life’s radiant moments.

Each of our therapists brings unique strengths and areas of expertise, and we thoughtfully match your child with the clinician who best fits their needs.
