Occupational Therapy Services

OT has been Empowering Independence Since 1917

Occupational therapy supports people across the lifespan in participating in the meaningful activities of daily life. These activities, also called occupations, include everything from self care and routines to learning, work, play, relationships, and community participation. OT uses therapeutic, everyday tasks to promote health, restore function, strengthen skills, and support meaningful participation in life.

Occupational therapy practitioners help people of all ages live life to its fullest. We support health and well-being, and we help individuals adapt and thrive during changes related to injury, illness, disability, or shifts in physical, emotional, or cognitive health.

Our Approach

Occupational therapy practitioners view health, environment, and participation through a holistic lens. We consider the person, the activity, and the context together, and we adapt any of these to support meaningful engagement.

Our work is evidence based and grounded in science. We believe that safe relationships, supportive environments, regulated nervous systems, and purposeful engagement create the foundation for lasting progress.

We also recognize that healing happens within a whole system. Our approach supports clients, caregivers, and collaborating providers so everyone involved feels safe, respected, and supported. When each part of the system is regulated and resourced, progress becomes more sustainable. We do not need to experience burnout, push beyond capacity, or carry everything alone. Asking for support, sharing the load, and working together in healthy, collaborative ways allows all of us to show up with clarity, compassion, and confidence.
