Our Mission
Every child is unique. Every brain is unique. At Bluegrass Therapy Group, we love your unique child.
Our goal is to improve your child’s overall communication, but our passion is to help your child feel supported, confident, and loved.
We specialize in pediatric speech, expressive language, receptive language, social skills, and reading (dyslexia) therapy.
Our History
We are a small, family owned business with hometown roots.
Rachel is from and lives in Frankfort. Elizabeth is from Morehead and lives in Lexington.
We met in 2012 working together in the school system. Rachel and Elizabeth shared a table and rug , and together serviced students in a tiny eastern KY town.
Ten years later, we still reminisce about the sweet students we supported.
In 2013, Rachel and Elizabeth invested a small amount of money in a big dream.
For years, we provided therapy in churches and homes to save money for an office space. We opened our brick and mortar in a building on Twilight Trail in Frankfort.
We rented a teeny tiny room the size of closet. Every few years, we upgraded to a larger room. Now, our BTG office is over 1,000 feet of space that boasts slides, swings, trampolines, sensory tables, multiple therapy rooms, and more.
We are super proud to offer Frankfort and the surrounding communities a safe and inviting place to bring children for therapy and support.

From Rachel
“I love working at our office. We all have one goal… to improve the lives of the kids we see and the families that raise them. Together, as a team, we make so much progress, and everyone benefits. Of course, the children benefit most, and you can see that through the confidence they gain. Their smiles and hugs say it all.”
