Serena Lyn Lopez

Therapist

Serena leads the Bright Beginnings team and works one-on-one with children across all of our programs. She built the clinic around a simple conviction: when you address the foundations behind a child's challenges — rather than one symptom at a time — real, lasting skills can follow. Families know her for honest answers, clear plans, and sessions kids genuinely look forward to.

Neuro-intensives Reflex integration Laser therapy Parent coaching

Off the clock: ask her about the therapy wins that still make her tear up — she keeps a list.

Rich Conroy

Therapist

Rich works with children in our intensive programs, pairing structured brain-body work with the patience and playfulness that help kids stay regulated and engaged. He's especially good at turning hard work into games children want to win — and at showing parents exactly how to carry the momentum home.

Gross-motor work Sensory integration Vestibular work Home programs

Off the clock: firmly believes the gross-motor gym is the best room in the building.

Julia Pisker

Therapist

Julia supports children through evaluations and intensives with a calm, encouraging style that helps even hesitant kids settle in quickly. She pays close attention to the small shifts — steadier balance, longer focus, an easier morning — that tell a family a program is working, and she makes sure parents see them too.

Neuro-evaluations Sensory-motor work Eye-tracking & timing Family support

Off the clock: collects the drawings kids leave behind — the sensory room wall is her gallery.
