About Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center
Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center is a holistic, wellness-oriented clinic focused on premium therapy for children and adults whose lives have been affected by speech, language, cognitive, feeding and swallowing, orofacial myofunctional, or breathing pattern disorders.
Our team of highly trained speech-language pathologists and occupational therapy staff treats the whole person, not the symptom. For children and adults, that means one-on-one speech, myofunctional, and breathing re-education programs built around the root cause. For our youngest patients, it goes further: infant feeding evaluations, gentle bodywork and craniosacral fascial therapy, retained reflex integration, pelvic floor therapy, and pre- and post-release support for tongue, lip, and buccal ties, with speech and OT collaborating on one plan under one roof.
And we don't work alone. Airway health is a team sport, so we collaborate with like-minded providers across our community: airway-centric dentists and orthodontists, release providers, IBCLCs, chiropractors, PTs, CSTs, ENTs, and primary care physicians. Whole-person care takes a whole team, and we've built one.

What about my insurance?
ATWC is in-network with BCBS PPO. Call our office at 815-782-4196 to verify your benefits and schedule your appointment.
For other insurance companies, ATWC is an out-of-network provider, and our services are often covered by out-of-network benefits. We recommend contacting your insurance company before starting services to learn how much your plan will reimburse. You'll get a superbill from us with everything they need, including diagnostic and treatment codes.
If your insurance doesn't cover therapy, talk to us about our competitive cash payment options. Money questions are normal here. Ask them.
