Our Team
Our child-centered approach to therapy emphasizes collaboration with families and caregivers.
We create individualized treatment plans that promote growth, independence, and overall well-being.
We Prioritize Play
Kids Succeed Therapy is fueled by the mantra that children learn best through play and in their natural environments. We are dedicated to using our expertise to help children acquire the necessary skills to advance in all areas of development.
Our team of highly experienced therapists have expertise in promoting a child’s independence in all areas of daily living activities, motor skill development, adaptive equipment recommendations, and many more.
We embrace the ability to work with children up to age 21 who present with all types of diagnosis. Our wealth of experience allows us to work with any child through age 21, no matter the diagnosis. We often think outside of traditional therapeutic strategies to put the child first. This is our driving force!

Christine True
Hi my name is Christine True and I thoroughly enjoy working with children. My youngest brother Joe, who lives with me, presents with special needs. I have been a pediatric occupational therapist for over 15 years. My job has allowed me to work in both the schools and in the clinical setting. I believe every child, student, parent, teacher and caregiver plays a vital role in learning and being successful. I love being a member of a child’s team that supports them on their journey to being a kid.
Testimonial
“Christine True has been our daughter’s occupational therapist for the past nine years. Christine is amazing, creative, fun, and a loving OT. My daughter has reached her full potential with Christine’s help and expertise. Our daughter is now transitioning out of High School and into the next phase of her life and Christine has been so helpful because of the wealth of information she has. Christine has gone above and beyond helping us with this and making it a much smoother transition than I ever thought possible. She has been such a blessing in our lives and I would highly recommend Christine as your child’s occupational therapist.”
Holly Williams PT, DPT
Hi, I’m Holly Williams. I have found my passion in pediatric physical therapy for almost 10 years. I adore working with children and get such joy out of seeing their success, big or small. Seeing a child proud of their accomplishments, regardless of their age, keeps me motivated to support all kids in reaching their full potential. I am a lifelong learner who values collaborating with all of those individuals supporting the child. I strive to empower others and strive to be a positive presence and a source or encouragement.
Testimonial
“Holly has been an absolute joy to work with. Her kind, gentle and positive attitude gave my son a great start at improving his physical skills. Her exercises at home were easy to understand and helped him build a great foundation. My son was always happy to see her and receptive to her exercises.”
Nikaela Schroeder PT, DPT
Nikaela Schroeder here! I have been a pediatric physical therapist for over ten years working with so many different populations it’s hard to name them all. I’ve worked with everything from young adults to preemies–from individuals with genetic syndromes to individuals who have experienced a traumatic brain injury and just about everything in between. I am captivated by the moment that a kid really truly engages with a peer because of movement. I am forever pushing to close the mobility gap between my kiddos and their peers. From playgrounds to PE classrooms you’ll find me meeting kids where they’re at and pushing them to get moving! I can’t wait to help your kiddo play their way into increased mobility.
Testimonial

Her caring approach has made a positive impact on her well-being. Her delightful and amiable personality ensures that every appointment is enjoyable and stress-free.”
