We had some physical therapists hired through another agency, and then we had Justyna Smoszna come one day and started bringing my wife back to normal. Justyna combines her expertise with compassion and creativity and my wife has had a near miraculous recovery. Physical therapy is never any fun, but my wife actually looks forward to Justyna's visits 2X a week because the result of each is some more additional improvement. She's gone from not being able to sit up to being able to walk again in just four months. We'd highly recommend Justyna and Topaz!

I…read morelooked up for OT providers on google when I realized we need help with executive functioning difficulties. She doesn't accept insurance and is out of network. She called me back after receiving my voicemail, and talked to me at length about how her therapy differs from others. All my friends said if someone oversells something, it's definitely not good. I had not much to lose and it was close enough for me to manage. Boy! was I suprised! That's an understatement. Every single session brought profound change. 'Bliss' is what I describe what I see after every session in a normally happy child. Gestures came out, expressive language skills sky rocketed, bi-lateral coordination improved, social skills improved, interactivity improved. Coginitive functions improved. We have been there for little over 6 months, I can't even remember how the kid was when we started. We are at a totally different level and I feel confident with every single session. Also, I haven't met a therapist who is so confident and assures us that our kids will be fine the way she does. She truly means it with all her heart. She is very confident in her therapy and so we see the results. She is as dedicated as one can be in her art of sensory processing. She is the best thing that happenned to us and I am grateful for GOD to lead us to her. She is also the best counselor when I go to her after a bad report from school. She boosts my morale instantly. She is always available, I report an issue or share input she responds immediately. At one time, I panicked after a school report and she was on vacation and I messaged what I can do about it. She called me, while on her vacation and spent over an hour over the phone, her personal time, reassuring me sensing my anxiety. I cannot think of anybody other than my family members being with me in such tough times. She spends way beyond an hour for the therapy sessions we go to with things like this. She is family that you don't know you need in the special needs journey. I wish she trains some OTs to expand her practice to make her services available for wider public. They are so needed for so many kids. Every dollar we spend is completely worth it. I say even if you have to mortgage your house to afford her therapy, go for it. That will be the best investment that will reap rewards down the road and save you so much anxiety after you see the kind of progress you wish to see in your child. As you see in other reviews this is a consistent experience for every client she sees. She never lets a client go, it is not believable that nobody ever stops her therapy to change to a different provider. She is the one stop shop. You will never need to look elsewhere and you WILL feel fully taken care of.

I…read morecame here for a drug test before I start a new job next month, and it was much easier and more pleasant than any other pre-employment physical or test I've had to do in the past. Easy to park, in a beautiful location with gorgeous landscaping, and lots of places to relax in the sun. Upon entering the plaza, you follow signs for Kaiser customer parking spots and there is an indoor/outdoor garage with elevators that take you up to the occupational health area on the first floor. Super straightforward! Also, the staff were friendly and efficient. I was in and out in about 30 minutes. Thanks to the people here for making this a really great experience.

Divorce, buying and selling a home, moving three times, legal issues and a job change were all weathered with her support. And I'm a better person for it! Offering a buffet of healing tools, Lauloa utilized a unique set of techniques to support us. Pulling from her experience in higher brain living, brain gym and her extensive knowledge in communication, Lauloa helped pull me up, overcome fatigue and reach goals during the most challenging time of my life. I resolved court issues with my ex, doubled my salary and found peace, releasing the anger, pain and sadness from the unexpected and difficult end to my marriage. Lauloa created a safe place to talk about all of these issues and welcomed me with loving acceptance. My daughter loved the breathing and visualization exercises and we enjoyed attending together. Lauloa is someone you can build trust with quickly to talk openly and honestly about your issues and to provide helpful techniques to continue progress between visits. I highly recommend Lauloa. She is a beautiful, kind and talented soul. I'm grateful to have met her.

The therapy Jacque provided helped to resolve all of the speech delays and challenges that my kiddos had, which, again, is amazing.

I am a single father that struggled to find helpful resources for my 6 year old autistic son,…read moreAyden, that is non-verbal. I leaned on my job's network and I had multiple peers singing the praises of Bright Stars for speech therapy. Due to the hurdles I have faced in the past, I was rather pessimistic at first and made some assumptions, that maybe this place would be like others with a long waitlist and would just forget about me. However, Kristen White reached out to me even though there was a waitlist and pulled some strings to assist me in getting care that I need because she saw how bad I was struggling. Her smile and calming tone gave me hope that there was a light at the end of the tunnel with getting my child the help he needs. After the evaluation, we did not have to wait too long before we are connected with Chelsea Miranda. She was an amazing start in my speech therapy journey and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. My son, Ayden, would run to her in excitement and ready for the educational play. Although she informed me she was relatively new, I feel like her willingness to engage with my son every session and focusing on building a connection won me over with Bright Stars. Due to scheduling issues I am having at the moment, unfortunately we no longer could work with Chelsea. On the other hand, in life when one door closes another door opens, and I could not be more happy to start working with Dakota Noble. When I tell you, I was nearly emotional after our first few sessions because I felt like the insurance commercial, I am finally in good hands. The cool thing about Dakota is that she have a vast background working with autistic children and day one I could tell she was the one (therapist wise of course, don't want my girlfriend mad at me). The way Ayden runs to the center and grabs her hand and take her to the room for their session warms my heart. I am just an engineer that is still figuring out this fatherhood and child services for a special needs child out. Not only has Ayden been building a connection and growing, but she has been an outstanding mentor from a parenting perspective on figuring out how to navigate everything. She is so intelligent, patience, and kind. It is an interesting feeling to not only have your child feeling heard, understood, and seen, but a parent that is fighting to be the best parent they can be feeling the same way is unmatched. So I say all of this because I wanted to show my appreciation of the Bright Stars staff that includes the front desk that has worked with my chaotic schedule too, Candace Carson-Brunt and Carol Cabri. Thank you all and I appreciate you all from the bottom of my heart and I look forward to continuing to work with you all.

I took my son to a few OT sessions with Moira earlier this year after I found her on the…read moreDIRFloortime® directory. We only had a few sessions because her assessment found that he did not have insurance-justified reasons for OT, so she wanted to save us money. Moira and her staff are truly special people and I appreciate their neurodiversity-affirming, child-led, respectful approach to OT. She gave me a lot of helpful tips for developing his fine motor skills as well. When you have a child who is developmentally delayed and/or neurodivergent, you hear ALL DAY LONG from professionals about their deficits, what's "wrong" with them, how they're different from their peers, etc, and it's honestly depressing. Moira was one of the few professionals who spoke of my son from a strengths-based perspective which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend this practice to any parent whose child needs OT.
