Our mission statement: We are an agency of providers dedicated to empowering families and their loved ones by enhancing their quality of life within our local communities. We foster creativity, growth and the wellbeing of our team members. By embracing inclusion, we foster a collaborative environment where everyone can flourish and thrive.

Essential Therapy Solutions started in 2007 in response to the overwhelming number of families in our Arizona community requiring services.

We also contracted with other agencies holding Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) contracts to deliver services to the birth to 3 population.
