Our Summer Program Philosophy
At Mountain Top Therapy Services, we believe summer is the perfect opportunity to maintain and strengthen skills in a fun, engaging environment. Our summer therapy groups are designed to prevent the "summer slide" while building confidence, fostering social connections, and encouraging growth through evidence-based practice paired with motivational activities.
All groups align with our core values of relationship-based, family-friendly, and client-focused care. Parents receive weekly progress updates and home practice activities to reinforce skills between sessions.
