Our Mission, Vision, and Values

Mission

Starfish Therapies’ mission, to put it simply, is “Making a Difference.”  We accomplish this through collaboration with patients and families to provide the best opportunities we can for children to reach their full potential. Starfish Therapies is a place of mutual respect and teamwork where everyone belongs. It is through our passion for kids and a supportive environment that we are able to promote healthy lifestyles in children of all abilities with individual services and community programs. Our dedication to children and commitment to learning drives us to grow as individuals, a team, and a company to continue to make a difference. 

Vision

To create a world of inclusion that supports children of all abilities to reach their fullest potential, live healthy lives, and be a valued member of society.

Values

Respect

Starfish Therapies is built on this foundational value and it carries through to all the other values. Respect is essential whether it involves coworkers, families, kids, materials, space, time, communication styles, culture, and most importantly yourself. We pride ourselves on creating an environment and relationships that are accepting and acknowledging of what makes each person and situation unique and individual.

Passion for Kids

Starfish Therapies is committed to providing cutting edge, unique solutions and opportunities so that every child has the ability to reach their full potential. Our passion for kids allows us to understand each child and family in order to create a personalized environment where everyone can have fun and feel that they belong.

Communication and Teamwork

Starfish Therapies strives to create a team environment in order to produce the most effective opportunities and experiences for our kids and families. We thrive because our staff are open communicators and proactive professionals who support one another everyday. We seek those who are brave enough to actively contribute to the team, as well as ask for help when they need it.

Lifelong Learning

Starfish Therapies instills in its team members a dedication to pursuing professional goals, learning new techniques, and challenging themselves to improve. It is through honest self-reflection, open discussions, and guided mentorship that we constantly evolve. We ask each team member to bring the knowledge they have, acknowledge there is always more to learn, and strive to learn something new every day. It is through lifelong learning that we better meet the needs of the children and families we encounter.

Dedication to Excellence

Starfish Therapies team members come to work with an internal drive that makes them want to be better everyday and prepared to give their best in everything they do. Having a solution-oriented approach allows us to be problem solvers and proactively institute change in order to reach excellence.

What Clients Are Saying

Starfish is truly a life changing place.
“My child has been diagnosed with hypotonia, we brought him to Starfish Physical Therapy since he was 8 months, he started from not moving at all, to crawling, to a little walker, he is now 3 years old running around everywhere with confidence and happiness. We can see his obvious improvement , that just tears us up sometimes! Every exercise he did in each session and everything the therapist thought he was applying into his daily life. Moreover, Starfish therapists are so nice and loving, the session is not just a therapy activity anymore, it becomes a part of our family life, the most important exciting activity for my son every week. Starfish is our family!! We feel so lucky to have Starfish helping our son, the endless effort you provided to him, changed his life. As a parent, nothing is more grateful than this.”
