Wow. Ten years! Progressive Therapy Associates has been helping patients and families for a decade now. What an honor. It's been an incredible ride! Through the ups and downs of it all, we are truly grateful for SO many people. We are blessed to have the most compassionate, caring, dedicated, resilient, and professional women working at Progressive Therapy Associates.
As you walk through our doors, you meet Shari, who is always patient and caring; she’s the glue that holds us together and moving in the right direction. Need to know, who, what, where, when, and why…. anything from insurance to how many years ago someone was here last; she knows and takes care of it, in an instant, with a smile. She is truly one in a million. Thank you, Shari, for all you do!
When you meet Amber, you can just tell that she cares deeply. She truly knows and understands the impact of special needs and circumstances on a family as she grew up with this diversity. It shows! She is always motivated to go the extra mile every time, and attention to detail is her forte (this also goes for the amazing Christmas cookies she makes each year, not just with patients and paperwork). Thank you!
Brynna is a natural caregiver. Don’t get us wrong, she’s diligent and works very hard to help her patients and fiercely advocates for and with them. Her level of caring and concern shows in her interactions. Brynna’s top-notch treatment to each and every patient does not go unnoticed. Thank you!
We are also fortunate to have Katina join us as at Progressive Therapy Associates as her Philadelphia born tenacity, passion, and easy to love nature proceeds her. She will “dig right in” and it is clear to patients and families that she is willing to go the distance to help. Thank you!
We are honored and humbled to have so many wonderful patients, families, providers, and friends who have supported us on this journey. We could not have done it without you. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts! We truly live in a great community.
Thank you to all of you who chose us, and believe in our mission to improve functioning, empower individuals, and renew lives. Here’s to the next 10 years! Watch for the next 10 days as we give away some fun prizes as a small token of our appreciation! Let’s celebrate!
Thank you,
Jodi Hedstrom and Janet Grove
We are Speech-Language Pathologists and routinely treat adolescents and adults with cognitive-communication needs including those seen most commonly with ADHD, brain injury, concussion, stroke and MS. We address attention, memory, language, and executive functioning. If you are wondering how we can help or are looking for more information, please see our website at www.progressivetherapyassociates.com or call 701-356-7766 or schedule a free consultation.
Our dedicated team of speech-language pathologists are specially trained in speech therapy as it relates to cognitive-communication issues (how you listen, process, focus, remember, and communicate). We are also nationally certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, are nationally recognized by the Brain Injury Association of America and are Certified Brain Injury Specialists (CBIS). We are licensed to practice in both North Dakota and Minnesota. We believe every patient deserves the best treatment and support we can offer in every single contact and interaction with us.
We recognize that no two people have the same needs and that everyone has different learning styles. That’s why we like to call our approach “the Progressive way,” which means we will happily customize treatment plans to meet the unique needs of the individual and their family. We also believe in “the right fit” between patient and therapist, so will make every effort to match you with a clinician who connects with you, understands you, and utilizes a therapy style that is comfortable for you.
Depending on the goals you wish to accomplish and the learning pace that is most comfortable for you, we will arm you with the evidence-based strategies, proven skills, and ample support you need to feel more organized, prepared, and effective. Therapy strategies may range from recommendations for specific tools (such as timers or planners), one-on-one brainstorming and problem-solving to address concerns, therapeutic activities as well as computer trials or worksheets to help strengthen cognitive and executive functions like attention, memory, and planning.
We know that working on cognitive-communication issues is hard work and that it can be easy to feel defeated or overwhelmed by the challenges of building a more efficient brain. However, you will not be in this alone. We are not just speech-language pathologists; we are fellow human beings who care about you, your journey, and your success. We don’t want an appointment to feel like you’ve been sent to the principal’s office. Instead, you’ll find a comfortable space where you’ll feel listened to and understood. And because humor makes everything more bearable, be prepared to laugh and joke a bit too!
