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 obtained school contracts as well as becoming a Qualified Vendor with the Arizona Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDD). We also contracted with other agencies holding Arizona Early Intervention Program (AzEIP) contracts to deliver services to the birth to 3 population. 

Our goal at Essential Therapy Solutions is simple - to be a leader in supporting families and providers in our community. We accomplish this by providing the highest quality services, information and resources to our families. Our goals are accomplished by the commitment of every employee.

ETS is an advocate for our families and providers by practicing the following values and beliefs:

• Resourceful - We are proactive in networking within the community to educate our team.
• Ethical - We are upstanding professionals that provide services by upholding our highest principles.
• Acceptance - We are empathetic and honest providers who support our families.
