STRIVE Therapy Services, Inc. is a locally owned private practice that started in Buffalo, in 2012. We serve the families in the surrounding areas whom are experiencing developmental or behavioral challenges.
Our services are designed to identify current development, investigate underlying causes for developmental or behavioral challenges and provide support to facilitate independence and positive changes.
Our therapists have a wide range of experience working with children and adults learning to cope with mental health symptoms and developmental disabilities. They continue their training by participating in year round education to provide a variety of information to the families and individuals we serve.

Our Owners
Jaime Plamann, MOTR/L (Co-Owner)
My name is Jaime Plamann and I earned my Master’s Degree from the University of North Dakota in 2003 and opened STRIVE Therapy with my husband in 2012. I have worked as an Occupational Therapist in a variety of settings including outpatient pediatrics, a variety of long term care facilities, outpatient and inpatient adult physical rehabilitation, and adult inpatient mental health.
I have completed continuing education courses in the Integrated Listening Program, Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Practice, Zones of Regulation, and Behavioral Modifications.
I reside near Buffalo with my husband and three daughters. As a family, we enjoy time at the cabin, attending sporting events, traveling, making crafts, and visiting family and friends.
Being the owner and director has been tremendously fulfilling. We enjoy meeting the families in our community and working closely with them to reach their greatest potential. I feel like I have been blessed with the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and began this journey with the goal to give back to others but I have gained so much more than I could have imagined.
Gary Plamann, Facility Director/Co-Owner
My name is Gary Plamann, my wife, Jaime and I made the commitement to our community by opening STRIVE Therapy in 2012 in Buffalo, MN. I have worked in management positions for other companies in the past and so decided to continue that position with STRIVE. I have so much fun getting to know so many of the families from our community.
When I am not working at STRIVE I enjoy playing in bean bag tournaments, spending time with family and freinds at our cabin, traveling, and watching the Minnesota sports.
