Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapists are experts at assessing and treating barriers impeding abilities to participate in meaningful activities including self-care, leisure and productivity. As occupational therapists, we utilize your strengths to promote engagement in meaningful and relevant activities that may be impacted by illness, disease or injuries. This includes a person’s emotional, social, and physical needs and functioning. Treatment can be completed in our clinic, the home or the community depending on your needs.
Our occupational therapy services focus on helping individuals regain independence and improve their ability to engage in daily activities at home, work, or school. We begin by assessing your unique needs and environment to develop a personalized treatment plan that promotes your participation in meaningful activities. To enhance safety and independence, we prescribe assistive devices and adaptive equipment tailored to your specific challenges.
Collaboration is key to successful recovery, which is why we work closely with your care team to ensure a comprehensive approach to rehabilitation. Utilizing a variety of treatment methods, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, neuro- and cognitive rehabilitation, hand therapy, and environmental modifications, we address complex needs with a holistic approach. Education is also a crucial component of our therapy, and we provide guidance to family members and caregivers to support your recovery journey.
