Meet Jesse Bowen, aka Jellybean

Hi, I’m Jesse, founder of Jellybean Pediatric Therapy—and someone who believes that every child has untapped potential. As a pediatric occupational therapist, I’m passionate about supporting families like yours. My goal is simple: to help you understand your child’s unique brain and body so you can champion their growth with confidence.

When I say “I play for a living” it’s because a child’s most important job is to play. And through play, children learn so many skills needed for everyday life. Let’s discover what’s possible for your family together.

Our Services - Where Neuroaffirming Care Meets Therapeutic Play

Occupational Therapy

From increasing fine & gross motor skills to decreasing behaviors, we help children build essential life skills with confidence.

Speech Therapy

Whether it’s articulating sounds, expanding vocabulary, or improving social communication, we support children in becoming effective, confident communicators.

Feeding Therapy

We help children with feeding challenges explore new foods, develop safe swallowing techniques, and build a positive relationship with mealtime.

We believe every child is beautifully unique. Our clinic is a safe space where your child’s individuality is embraced, and we celebrate their growth together.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my child needs therapy?

If your child is struggling with daily tasks, experiencing sensory challenges, or having difficulty with communication or emotional regulation, therapy might be beneficial.

Occupational therapy can help your child achieve a more regulated state more consistently so that they can be successful in their daily environments and activities.

Speech therapy can help your child communicate their wants and needs as well as better understand what is being spoken to them. We’re here to guide you! Reach out for an evaluation, and we’ll help you assess your child’s unique needs.

What can I expect from the therapy process?

The first visit is typically an evaluation that lasts 45 minutes to an hour long. The parents or caregivers will be present for this visit. We will give you a tour of our clinic, conduct a parent interview, have you complete some questionnaires and paperwork, and also evaluate your child. After the evaluation, you will receive a report from your child’s occupational therapist or speech therapist. This report will include your child’s plan of care, or goals, for our treatment. Each session after this visit will typically be 30 minutes. Our sessions are all about play and connection! We’ll work with your child in a fun, engaging environment to build skills like coordination, sensory regulation, emotional awareness, speech and language skills, and engagement in a shared world. Along the way, we’ll empower you with tools to continue supporting their progress at home.

What’s the cost, and will my insurance cover it?

Costs vary depending on the services your child needs. We accept BCBS, Medicaid, Tricare, United Health Care, and Private Pay. We’re happy to work with you to understand your insurance coverage and explore payment options. Transparency and accessibility are important to us.

How long will my child need therapy?

The length of therapy depends on your child’s goals and progress. Some children benefit from short-term intervention, while others thrive with ongoing support. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your family’s needs.

How does your therapy approach differ from others?

We’re a neurodiversity-affirming clinic, which means we embrace your child’s unique abilities. Our approach focuses on building skills through play, creating a joyful experience for your child, and empowering you as their advocate and partner.

What Our Parents Are Saying

"To say we are so happy we found Jellybean Pediatric Therapy and Jesse is an understatement. Since starting OT with Jesse, my son who is 4, has shown such an improvement and in a short time. He was having anger outbursts, no control over his emotions, hitting and screaming. We learned through Jesse he has sensory processing disorder which causes him to not be able to stay regulated. She has helped me learn to regulate myself to co-regulate him. She has since taught us how to handle that and how to comfort him in those times . What before seemed hopeless now has hope. We are so grateful for Jesse and her skills and helping us get a handle on his issue. Now he can be a normal little boy and have a joyful life and not be frustrated all the time. She gave us hope. We recommend her to everyone that has a child going through these things or anything similar to. We are so grateful we found her."
