Our mission is simple yet powerful: to empower children through personalized, evidence-based therapy services that promote growth, independence, and a higher quality of life.
Our Tampa Pediatric Therapy Practice Offers:

Anne MullenMarch 11, 2023
Our experience at Family First Therapy has been top-notch. My daughter is 16 years old and has had a variety of speech and OT therapists throughout the years. Family First has been one of our best experiences. The atmosphere is upbeat and welcoming. The owners, staff, and therapists are focused on providing solid solutions that meet each child's individual needs. Ms. Lex is a particular favorite of my girl. They have fun together while working on their tasks. She cares about my daughter and goes out of her way to show it. If you need therapy services to support your child, I would greatly suggest you investigate Family First Therapy in Lutz.
Courtney CiaraFebruary 13, 2023I cannot recommend Family First Therapy enough! We worked with Katia for almost a year and she made my son truly look forward to coming every week. They were extremely pleasant, experienced, personable, and punctual. We had a wonderful experience and I am so thankful to have found Family First!
Kathy StackhouseFebruary 7, 2023We selected Family First from Google reviews because we were new to the area and had no recommendations. And we are blessed. Since late September, our granddaughter has been receiving OT from Lex twice a week. M loves her sessions and has made great strides in her skills which have carried over to school. Lex suggested that nonverbal M receive speech therapy and she’s had her first sessions with Natalie. Lex and Natalie worked together to make these sessions extremely successful. We look forward to future fun and improvement.
manasa kandadiNovember 9, 2022I highly recommend this therapy center! My son has been seeing Natalie (ST) and Alexis(OT) and couldn't be more happy with them. They have been caring and so patient with my son. When we brought my son here he resisted learning new activities but Alexis is always so calm and had great methods to distract and continue the session. She taught me techniques to work with my son at home and help him succeed. Few months ago, my son had little to no spontaneous words and now he's trying to say few words after seeing Natalie. It is beyond evident that they care a great deal about children and helping them succeed in their speech and development. Thank you so much!!
Robyn McGurganNovember 8, 2022We absolutely love Family First Therapy! The therapists here truly care and have been wonderful about communicating and working with our schedule. Our OT Lex and speech path Jenn both have great relationship with our daughter and have taught all of us so much! She smiles and dances as soon as she sees her therapists! We feel blessed that we found this facility.
jeannine ortizSeptember 25, 2022This clinic has the most loving and amazing therapists. My children absolutely LOVED going to this appointment every week- between the expertise, the care, and the fun toys/equipment, this clinic is second to none- and I’m a physical therapist and have seen many.
Shelby MoralesSeptember 15, 2022Family First Therapy is the best of the best. It is our son's favorite time of the week when he gets to see Miss Carly and Miss Lex! He (and we) consider them friends, and we could not be more grateful for their above and beyond efforts into helping our little guy with his speech and occupational therapy. Each session is so helpful not only to him, but also us as parents, which is so crucial to kiddos' development. We encourage anyone who is looking to give their child (and themselves) extra guidance to truly flourish to go see the experts here at Family First. You will be so thrilled that you did!
Bridget McNamaraSeptember 14, 2022I cannot begin to express my gratitude for this therapy office! My son has been coming here for speech and occupational therapy since February 2022. My experience, as the parent, has been nothing short of amazing. My son is nonverbal, but his big smile and excitement just pulling into the parking lot tells me how much he loves coming to therapy! The therapist are exceptional and care so much about the kids they service. The owner is accessible, responsive, and wonderful! We have had some insurance billing issue and she has worked diligently with my insurance and never asked us to stop coming or pay what my insurance was not paying properly to her business in the mean time. We came from another therapy office and I just wish I had found this place sooner! My son will be in therapy for the foreseeable future and I’m so happy to have found his new home! Best therapy office around!!!
