About the Founders
Marti Flanagan & Laurie Lanning
Hi, we’re Marti and Laurie, pediatric occupational therapists and co-founders of Treehouse Pediatric Therapy! We began this journey because we saw a need for a multidisciplinary therapy clinic in the Richmond, VA area— one that provides collaborative care to support all of your child’s needs in one place.
With a shared passion for fostering growth through connection and play, we created a practice where children feel safe, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential. Our sessions are playful, engaging, and focused on connection because that’s how children learn best.
We are proud to lead a team of dedicated and caring therapists who go above and beyond to provide exceptional care. Here, therapy is more than just a service— it’s a partnership. We will listen closely to your family, tailoring therapy to your child’s unique needs while offering practical strategies for everyday life. With a strong focus on collaboration, our team of occupational, speech, and physical therapists work together to bring creativity, expertise, and compassion to every session. We are committed to making your child’s journey one of growth, confidence, and joy!
