Claridge is clinician-owned, relationship-centered, and fully neurodiversity-affirming. That means your child is seen as a whole person—not a checklist—and you work directly with experienced clinicians who stay personally connected to your family throughout your journey.
It means we respect each child’s identity, communication style, and sensory needs. We never teach children to mask who they are. Instead, we focus on understanding, supporting, and empowering them in ways that feel authentic and gentle.
We support children across early childhood and school-age years. Our approach adapts to each child’s developmental profile, strengths, and family routines.
In-home support happens where life actually happens—during meals, play, transitions, and daily routines. Sessions are flexible, responsive, and built around your child’s interests and comfort, not rigid programs.
Yes. We provide community-based skill building, school collaboration, and advocacy to help your child feel confident in real-world environments. Our goal is partnership, not compliance.
Very involved. We believe family partnership is essential to meaningful progress. Caregiver coaching is built into our model, offering practical strategies, emotional support, and guidance for everyday life.
We focus on communication, emotional regulation, social engagement, daily living skills, independence, and reducing stress around challenging moments. Every goal is individualized and rooted in the child’s strengths—not standardized benchmarks.
Yes, but with balance and intention. We use data to understand patterns and celebrate growth, but compassion, context, and connection guide every decision. Numbers never outweigh the child’s wellbeing.
Yes. Claridge is currently in network with Aetna (SC & NC), MedCost (SC), and Blue Cross Blue Shield of South Carolina. We’ll help guide you through verification and next steps so you know exactly what to expect.
If we’re not in network with your plan, you may still have options. We’re happy to talk through benefits, possible reimbursement pathways, or our upcoming private pay concierge model for families who prefer a more flexible, individualized approach.
Our concierge model is a private pay option designed for families who want highly personalized, flexible support without the limitations of insurance requirements. It offers more direct access to your clinician, customized session planning, and a focus on your family’s unique goals and routines.
We do. Telehealth is available for caregiver coaching, consultation, and ongoing support when flexibility is needed or travel is challenging.
Simply reach out through our contact form or give us a call. There’s no pressure—just a warm conversation to learn about your child, answer your questions, and help you explore whether Claridge feels like the right fit.
Your first conversation is simply a chance for us to learn about your child and your family’s needs. We’ll answer questions, explain our approach, and help you understand what therapy might look like—no pressure and no commitments.
Goals are created with you, not for you. We consider your child’s strengths, sensory profile, communication style, and emotional needs, along with your family’s routines and priorities.
Yes. Play is a child’s natural way of learning, connecting, and exploring. We use play to build trust, encourage communication, and teach new skills in a way that feels joyful and natural.
Session length and frequency depend on your child’s needs, your family schedule, and what feels supportive—not overwhelming. We prioritize balance over intensity to protect your child’s wellbeing.
Consistency matters. Your child will have a primary clinician who builds a relationship with your family and stays involved in all planning and progress.
We take introductions slowly and gently. Building safety and trust comes first—before goals, before data, before expectations. We meet each child where they are.
We embrace all forms of communication. Whether your child uses gestures, signs, picture systems, or a speech device, we honor and support the communication style that works best for them.
Yes. We support families during new or challenging transitions, helping children build confidence and emotional readiness for each next step.
Absolutely. We welcome caregiver participation and love when families join in. Your insight helps shape therapy and ensures strategies work in real life, not just in sessions.
That’s completely okay. Many families feel unsure at first. We’re here to talk openly about your concerns, explain our affirming approach, and help you make the decision that feels right for your child.
