MISSION STATEMENT: Our mission at Hansel Union Consulting, PLLC, is to provide supports to assist children, adults, and families with developmental, intellectual, and neurological disabilities.
OUR PHILOSOPHY: Caring community-based partners in health.
Hansel Union Consulting, PLLC was established in 2010 to provide quality, personal therapeutic services and was the first organization in Virginia to offer Behavioral, Speech, Recreational, and Occupational therapies in a single wraparound service. Built on more than 35 years of clinical leadership experience, Hansel Union Consulting now proudly serves Hampton Roads and communities across Virginia, North Carolina, and West Virginia, with offices in Portsmouth (VA), Raleigh (NC), and White Hall (WV).
Dr. Bobbie Hansel-Union began as a solo behavior therapist working out of her home. Within a year, she was in a small office with 3 other people sharing the same desk. Dr. Bobbie soon realized the demand for services was far more than she could provide and hired an additional behavior therapist. The demand for people needing services grew fast, and as more experience was gained, it was soon realized that those we serve needed more than a Behavior Therapist to help replace behaviors of concern with appropriate social behavioral outcomes. Our team understands that every behavior is communication. People may express feelings such as frustration or anger as a way to communicate unmet needs, self-regulate, relieve boredom, or express their desire for greater independence and personal choice. In 2014 and 2015, respectively, Hansel Union Consulting, PLLC hired its first Certified Recreational Therapist (CTRS) and Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), and in 2016, brought on its first Occupational Therapist (OTR). Since then, we have continued to expand both our team and the range of services we provide to meet the increasing needs of the individuals and communities we serve. This steady growth reflects our ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality, multidisciplinary care and ensuring that clients have access to the specialized support they need to achieve their goals.
At Hansel Union Consulting, PLLC, we work as a team to collaborate and provide quality care to each individual and the caregivers we support. Our primary purpose is to enhance the lives of our individuals and provide quality training to the caregivers to help the individuals maintain a quality of life and reach their full potential. We are with them every step of the way, from initial struggles to joyous successes and through our routine interactions, our clients become our extended family.
