I can’t praise Evan, Kelli and the whole team at Blume more highly. My son is 4.5 and has had some social emotional & behavioral challenges that Kelli has helped us work through over the past 1.5 years. Kelli is SO loving and understanding with children. She’s a natural. My son is very nervous around new people and doesn’t warm up easily, and he’s been so comfortable and open with Kelli from the beginning. I believe kids have a good radar for safe adults and that was evident in his quick trust he instilled in her. We have also worked with Evan, Katie and Natalie on various other things and they all share the same passion, positivity, supportiveness and openness that Kelli shows. Kelli creates sessions based on Wyatt’s unique needs and ways of learning and he always leaves full of confidence with a big smile on his face. I would highly recommend Blume to anyone!!

We cannot say enough good things about our experience with Bailey (SLP) at Blume Therapy. She was patient, kind and thoughtful with our son as well as two nervous parents. Clear; direct and mindful communication throughout the process.

I can't recommend Blume Kids Therapy highly enough. Evan's neurodiversity-affirming approach truly sets her apart from other providers. She approaches every child with a gentle desire to understand and nurture their unique strengths. Choosing an OT can feel overwhelming, but Blume provides a soft landing place for parents to find trust and support.

Evan is an incredible occupational therapist and I am confident that all services she provides are top-notch! I worked alongside Evan for over six months and observed several of her sessions while she worked with my clients. Evan provides individualized and creative OT sessions with respect to the client's needs and interests. She does a great job embedding OT strategies into fun activities and is always mindful about giving her clients a break. I can not recommend her more highly!

The team at Blume Kids Therapy is super, highly recommend. After being a patient at larger local OT providers working with Evan and her team was just different; more hands on; more personalized; less part of a big machine. They gave our son one-on-one care and us the tools to keep it going at home.

My child is autistic and was scripting and having a meltdown on the particular day of assessment. I didn't think much of it because after moving to this state, getting him set up with new providers takes time and he is dysregulated from missing routine services, such as these. I understand the need for all clients to be safe; however, as an organization that claims to be autism-affirming, assuming I have not already contacted a disability advocate, applied for case management (and am waiting for my child's waiver to be activated), attended therapy for the maximum the situation allows to get support for myself, etc is disappointing at best. Children can be dysregulated due to the lack of supports that we were trying to access, as was the case here. I suspect the provider could have handled this more appropriately by asking us to come back another day instead of suggesting I do all the things I have already done before "allowing" him to begin services. This attitude seems naïve (at best) on the part of Blume, if not irresponsible: the opposite of affirming and incredibly presumptive. I do not recommend this organization despite thinking they likely mean well.

Evan is a wonderful pediatric occupational therapist that I had the pleasure of working alongside for over a year. She is intentional with all provided goals and services, tailored to the child and family’s specific needs. Her neurodiversity-affirming approach to assessment, goal writing, and treatment makes her the OT I would turn to for my own child.

Evan is a fantastic therapist! I had the pleasure of working with her for over a year and she was always extremely caring, well informed, and very understanding with all of her clients. She definitely made it a priority to ensure everyone was receiving the best possible care and always made sure to maintain open communication with caregivers! Absolutely loved working with her!
