My Journey
I’m Stephanie Fluger - a mother who built the place I was desperate to find when my son was first diagnosed. I didn’t start with a degree in therapy or a roadmap - I started with heartbreak, frustration, and a fire in my chest to make things better for families like mine. I created Connection Therapy Clinic because every child deserves to be seen, celebrated, and supported
Connection didn’t start with therapy. It started with a mother’s fire.
We were lost in the system. So I built something better.
Brands I've Created
I created the place I once begged the system to offer me.
A clinic built for the kids who don’t fit the mold — and the parents who refuse to give up on them.
I love travel — and I wasn’t going to let my fears and anxiety take that from us.
Making adventure accessible for families who were told to stay home.
I built this for the version of me who was crying in the car after another school call.
For the parent who just need answers and support knowing that they're Neurodiverse Affirming and not fear mongering.
