About us

Family-centered care, from the start

Grow With Us Therapy was founded by occupational therapists Emily Grossman and Rachel Sarshalom. Together they have over 25 years of experience treating children with a wide range of needs.

Our mission is to partner with parents and educators — therapy for children, and guidance for the adults who care for them — so families can move forward with clarity, confidence, and connection.

Children in everyday play and self-care
