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.
More about us
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.
How we can help

We work closely with you, your child's teachers, therapists, and doctors to build treatment around your child's specific needs, and a brighter future on top of it.

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.

It’s been such a blessing to find an office so close to home that offers myofunctional therapy! As a dental hygienist, it’s incredibly valuable to have a trusted place in our area that I can confidently recommend to patients in need. On a personal level, my 4-year-old son has been coming here for almost a year working with Jena. Recently, we also started OT with Claire, and it has been amazing. My son absolutely loves going to OT, and it’s something I honestly never realized he needed until Jena recommended it. The difference we’ve seen already has been wonderful. My son genuinely looks forward to his sessions and I love seeing the progress. All of the ladies upfront are great too. They help entertain my other little one as much as they can which I truly appreciate. I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for myofunctional therapy, speech, or occupational therapy services!

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.

ATWC and team have truly been lifesavers for us and that’s not an exaggeration. They’ve been working with our daughter since she was 4 weeks old to assess function of her tongue, mouth, lips, etc because we had a lot of trouble breast feeding. Jena and Clare have been amazing in their diligence and thoughtfulness to truly assess function of our daughter during feedings to diagnose and find a solution. Our baby had to end up getting a lip and tongue release because that’s what was best for her long-term and though the thought of the procedure is nerve-wracking, the ATWC team has been so incredibly helpful, reassuring, and so caring with the aftercare and helping us make sure that we’re providing the right care for our baby girl. Jena, Clare, and Margaret have made us feel SO confident and cared for and we truly enjoy coming to our weekly sessions. I am so so thankful for this team, I’ve truly never witnessed this level of care and compassion from any healthcare professional. I feel fortunate that our baby girl is getting the best care and love and support from ATWC. At every session, Clare and Jena have taken their time to educate us on the why behind the exercises we’re doing, how it helps our baby, etc. Even Leslie, the front desk receptionist, is super caring, very nice and thoughtful. If I could work here I would 😂 The passion for their patients shines through in every single employee. Thank you Jena, Clare, Leslie, and Margaret for providing the absolute best care and attention for our baby!!!! 100/10 would recommend!!!

Jena and Clare have been phenomenal to work with! We have been blessed to have their assistance throughout our journey with our daughter’s tongue and lip tie therapy post procedure and the improvement has been so amazing to see! We are so thankful for their guidance, professionalism, empathy, thoughtfulness and expertise throughout every step. Our daughter went from not being able to breast feed and only taking a bottle due to limitations, to now breastfeeding with ease. Our family would recommend Jena, Clare and the whole team to any parents in a similar situation. Thank you!!
