About
Project Play Therapy was started in 2016 by a husband-and-wife team and is owned and operated by local therapists. The company states, “We live here, work here, and play here,” describing itself as a small business that “takes pride in hard work and dedication to our craft.” The practice got its start in clinic-based services and, according to the site, “spread our wings to include school partners in 2017 through the acquisition of Franklin Speech & Learning.” Its stated mission is that “all children can reach their fullest potential,” and its approach centers on “treating the whole child” through a multidisciplinary team that incorporates professional expertise, parent and caregiver guidance, and child input. The company notes it transitioned all services to a virtual model within weeks during the Covid-19 period.
