The Thrive Method Approach
The Thrive Group is a full-service therapeutic clinic with offices in Brooklyn, NY, Lakewood, NJ, and Passaic, NJ. At The Thrive Group, we study the whole child, find the root and treat the source, enabling struggling individuals to adapt, progress, and THRIVE.
We take a holistic view and work with children’s challenging behaviors in the context of their physical, emotional, and familial dynamic. Our focus is on why kids do what they do and how to treat it.
The Thrive Group is dedicated to providing a mental health occupational therapy treatment program that is personalized to the individual needs of each child, teen, and adult. Through sessions and workshops, we help parents and teachers understand their children’s and students’ behaviors while helping the family and classroom unit feel more comfortable. As each child is treated, the parent is guided how to help their child become adaptable, calmer, happier, and more focused.
Collaboration during and after individual treatment sessions reveals what each child’s behavior indicates and offers insights into how to strengthen the child’s understanding of self and his or her interpersonal skills. We give our clients the tools they need to help build meaningful relationships.
We have experience treating clients with a wide range of challenges including behavioral challenges of the dysregulated child, anxiety, fears, ADHD, ASD, ODD and trauma.

What are therapy toys and tools used for?
Our carefully selected toys and tools serve as an extension of your child’s therapy plan. They help to:
Reinforce skills learned in sessions (e.g., fine motor control, focus, sensory regulation)
Encourage independent practice of coping strategies.
Make therapeutic exercises feel more like play and less like work
Whether your child is working on attention, sensory integration, emotional expression, or auditory processing, these items bridge the gap between therapy and everyday life.
How do I know which toy or tool is right for my child?
Choosing the perfect item starts with understanding your child’s unique strengths and challenges. If you’re unsure, we’re here to help:
Book a Free Consultation – Our therapists will discuss your child’s goals and home environment.
Personalized Recommendation – We’ll suggest one or two options that align with their needs—no overwhelming catalog searches.
Ongoing Support – Have questions once you receive your tool? Just reach out, and we’ll guide you through best practices.
