Company Overview

Kindred Pediatric Therapy is a therapist-owned pediatric clinic in Fayetteville, Arkansas just down the road from the University of Arkansas, Go Hogs! We’re known for our collaborative, team-first culture and our strong relationships with families across Northwest Arkansas.

At Kindred, we believe great therapy happens when people work well together, communicate openly, and enjoy what they do. Our team is grounded in five core values: connection, passion, excellence, collaboration, and enjoyment. These values show up in how we treat both our patients and each other.

We take an interdisciplinary approach, meaning our OTs, COTAs, PTs, PTAs, and SLPs collaborate regularly to provide thoughtful, well-rounded care. We also prioritize continued growth through mentorship, hands-on learning, and professional development. For over 13 years, we’ve built strong partnerships with pediatricians, specialists, and community resources throughout Northwest Arkansas.

And yes, our therapy dog, Turtle, is part of the team. He specializes in greetings, morale boosting, transitions, and session support.
