A different kind of therapy clinic

Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center is a specialty clinic in Crest Hill, Illinois for children and adults with speech, language, cognitive, feeding and swallowing, myofunctional, and breathing pattern challenges. Our occupational therapy program covers the body side of the picture: craniosacral fascial therapy, retained reflex integration, developmental and fine motor skills, sensory regulation, and pelvic floor therapy. Speech and OT under one roof, working from one plan.

Our infant program runs especially deep: feeding evaluations, gentle bodywork and craniosacral fascial therapy, retained reflex work, pelvic floor therapy, and pre- and post-release support for tongue, lip, and buccal ties, all coordinated with airway-centric dentists, release providers, and lactation consultants.

What makes us different is how we look for answers. We don't chase symptoms. We find the root cause and treat that.

Our approach

Every patient starts with a story, and we listen to all of it. Whether a doctor referred you or your own instincts said something's off, your observations are part of the evaluation, not a footnote to it.

Then we look at the whole system: the mouth, the breath, the body, and the habits connecting them. When care needs more than one discipline, our speech, feeding, and occupational therapy teams build one coordinated plan, and we work directly with your dentist, pediatrician, ENT, or release provider instead of around them.

The destination is your best potential. Yours, not a template's.

    I can’t say enough good things about Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center and the care my daughter has received for myofunctional therapy. From day one, the therapists have been incredibly knowledgeable and are clearly experts in what they do. They explain what they’re seeing, why it matters, and how each step connects to the bigger picture. We always know what we’re working on, what progress looks like, and what we should be doing at home. One of the biggest reasons we trust ATWC is the collaboration with our orthodontist. Communication and coordination feel seamless, and it’s obvious the team understands how important it is for therapy and orthodontic treatment to work together. The staff is also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. Scheduling is straightforward, appointments run on time, and everything is well organized. The clinic is always clean, calm, and spotless. One thing I’ll be honest about: they have a pretty strict cancellation policy. Sometimes we don’t love it in the moment—life happens—but I can also see why it’s in place. It keeps us accountable to show up consistently, and that consistency is a big part of why my daughter is progressing. It’s helped us treat her weekly sessions like a priority, not an optional appointment, and that mindset has made a real difference in her follow-through and results. ATWC has made what could have felt overwhelming feel clear, manageable, and encouraging. We’re grateful for the expertise, the communication, and the way the team supports both our daughter and our family. Highly recommend!

    I was referred to this clinic by a family member when we were beginning to have concerns with our child’s development. I am so glad I did not listen to everyone else who said, “He will grow out of it!” From the very first appointment, it was clear we came to the right place! They took the time to truly understand our concerns and explain how everything was connected. Over several months, we saw remarkable improvements and our child LOVED coming to therapy! What stood out most was how knowledgeable and thoughtful the therapists were and so willing to collaborate with each other— it really does take a village! Every session had a clear purpose, and progress was always clearly tracked and shared with us. Because of the impact they had on us, we continue to recommend them to anyone we know who may have any concerns with their children.

    I take my 3 and 5 year old for OT to help with retained primitive reflexes and we see Clare! We love the office so much. Everyone is so kind and helpful with any questions we have. I love that Clare gives us a rundown of each session at the end so I know how my kids are progressing. The waiting room is also a hit when one of my kids is waiting for the other to be finished. Highly recommend.

    We have been so thrilled with the high quality of therapy and care we have received from Advanced Therapy & Wellness over the years! We have worked with speech therapy prior to and after having each of our baby's lip, tongue, and cheek ties released and the knowledge of the providers has been unparalleled. We are now back for myofunctional and occupational therapy and could not think of a better place for these sessions. The therapists truly have a team approach and have the best interest of the patient and family in mind when working on treatment plans and goals. I have already recommended Advanced Therapy & Wellness countless times and I will continue to recommend them! Thank you for helping our children thrive!

    The team at the advanced therapy and wellness center is very thorough and dedicated. They take their time with each patient, making everyone feel like a part of their family. I would highly recommend their services, especially for newborns experiencing feeding difficulties or reflux. They provided excellent recommendations, including a tongue tie release. Their service and customer care were truly exceptional.
