Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her son, catching up with friends, and reading.

Morris Wachs is the Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of GentleCare Therapy. Raised in Northeast Philadelphia by two professional educators, and as the brother of two speech therapists, he came to appreciate early in life the profound difference that thoughtful, skilled support can make for a child and family. After confronting and overcoming cancer as a young adult, he sought work of deeper purpose and made the decision to build his career around serving children. In 2016, he and his two sisters founded GentleCare Therapy in Philadelphia with a clear and enduring vision: to build a pediatric therapy organization that places children and providers at the center of everything it does.

Morris’s path to GentleCare began in business. He studied at the Saïd Business School at the University of Oxford, then built a career in the financial industry and, later, in investment consulting, where he conducted business analysis to inform investment decisions. That foundation in strategic planning, analysis and organizational growth continues to shape GentleCare’s development. Today, the practice is headquartered in Gibbsboro, New Jersey, and serves more than 1,000 families each year across New Jersey and the Greater Philadelphia region.

For more than a decade, Morris has led a pediatric therapy organization. He is recognized for his energy, his warm and approachable leadership, and his ability to unite people and resources around a shared purpose. He remains closely engaged in the organization’s work, helping to shape its standards and programs and ensuring that clinical teams feel supported and valued.

Morris is equally committed to building the infrastructure that allows a growing organization to operate with excellence. He examines how work truly unfolds, from a family’s first inquiry to the coordination behind every session, and refines each step to be clearer, more efficient and more dependable. His meticulous attention to detail and steadfast follow-through strengthen the work of the entire GentleCare team. Above all, Morris holds a deep conviction that every child deserves care that is compassionate, individualized and close to home.
