Bloom Pediatric Therapy

Helping Children and Families Thrive

When Kelcy Bonham opened Bloom Pediatric Therapy in Mount Juliet, her vision was simple yet powerful: create a place where families feel truly seen, supported, and celebrated. “Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all,” she says. “Every child has unique needs, and our job is to meet them right where they are—while also supporting the family as a whole.”

That individualized approach shines through in the way Bloom makes therapy both effective and joyful. Sessions are built on trust and play, with activities tailored to each child’s world. “What feels like play to them is carefully structured learning,” Kelcy explains. Favorite toys and fun, engaging activities often disguise just how hard kids are working.

Breakthroughs big and small fuel the Bloom team’s passion. Kelcy recalls one unforgettable moment: a non-speaking child said “mama” for the very first time with his parents watching. “The joy on his face, and on his parents’ faces, is something I’ll never forget.”

Parents are part of the process every step of the way. Each session includes education and simple activities for families to carry progress into daily routines. This team approach, combined with Bloom’s values of collaboration, advocacy, and integrity, creates a community-like atmosphere where families know they’re not alone.

Growth has been steady, and Bloom recently expanded with new therapy rooms, a large sensory gym, and added staff space—all designed to better serve children and families. Looking ahead, Kelcy is focused on expanding accessibility through more insurance options, increasing availability, and finding new ways to support families in and beyond the clinic. And as for the future? She hints there may be some surprises up her sleeve.

Through every stage of growth, her mission remains clear: helping children bloom—and ensuring families feel supported every step of the way.

At Bloom Pediatric Therapy, owner Kelcy Bonham has created a warm, family-centered space where children can grow, communicate, and thrive. Every session is rooted in trust, play, and individualized care—what feels like fun for kids is actually carefully structured learning. From helping non-speaking children find their voices to supporting families through everyday milestones, Bloom’s approach goes far beyond the clinic. With a recent expansion that includes new therapy rooms and a sensory gym, Kelcy and her team are continuing to grow while staying true to their mission of making therapy accessible, engaging, and full of heart. And as Kelcy hints, there may be a few exciting surprises still up her sleeve.
