Overview

Speech Therapy for autism in Magnolia

With nine clinics scattered across Greater Houston — from Cypress and Tomball to Katy, Missouri City, and Brookshire — Thrive Speech Therapy covers a wide swath of the metro for pediatric speech services. Founded in 2017 by Jessica Sekhon (M.S., CCC-SLP, CAS), the practice focuses on children from 18 months through age 21, with particular depth in autism, AAC, gestalt language processing, and feeding therapy. Therapists also see kids at local daycares and ABA centers, capping driving distance at 10 minutes from each clinic.

Best for

Houston-area families whose child has autism, gestalt language processing differences, AAC needs, or feeding difficulties and who want a neurodiversity-affirming practice with convenient clinic options across the metro.

Their approach

Sessions are play-based and strengths-focused, drawing on methods including Gestalt Language Processing, the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM), the SOS Approach to Feeding, Meaningful Speech certification, and AAC support. Parents are actively involved — either sitting in to observe and practice home strategies, or waiting nearby — and therapists debrief at the end of each session.

What to expect

Starting is straightforward: call 281-982-1313 or email admin@thrivespeech.net to submit intake paperwork, and Thrive will verify your insurance before scheduling a 45-minute to 90-minute evaluation. Most children move into weekly therapy within one to two weeks, attending one or two 30-minute sessions per week; no physician referral is required from the practice's side, though some insurance plans do require one.
