Feltz Therapy Services, LLC
Feltz Therapy Services, LLC (FTS) is a locally-owned and operated pediatric therapy practice directed by Candace Feltz, MA, CCC-SLP. FTS began in December 2001 with only three therapists and has grown to over 140 top quality behavioral, occupational, physical and speech therapists who are dedicated to the children they teach. FTS currently has five clinic locations in Antioch/South Nashville, Goodlettsville, Murfreesboro, Smyrna, and Spring Hill, TN. We contract with Tennessee Early Intervention Systems (TEIS), a home health agency to provide in-home services, and school systems in the Middle Tennessee area to provide therapy services to their students. We have provided services to thousands of children in the Middle Tennessee area. Our goal is to encourage children to strive towards attainable tasks and slowly build upon these mastered goals, and to assist children in improving their skills while gaining some level of independence in their daily environment. Our purpose is to make a difference...one child at a time. FTS provides unparalleled support to our therapists, creating a community which fosters growth and professional development. Our clinical directors provide mentorship, on-site support, team meetings, and clinical resources to help our therapists build a successful therapy program and take their pediatric practice to a new level. Our hands-on approach to management has made us the company to work for in the therapist community.
