Help you get things done
Connect the dots so you can ease into life
Using a neurodiversity-affirming framework, the Occupational Therapist will partner with you to help you achieve your goals by highlighting your strengths and focusing on how you can engage in daily life activities authentically.
You are an expert in your own (and your child’s) life and Occupational Therapy can help bridge the gap between what you want to or need to do and what you are able to do when engaging in daily activities. Listed below are some of the focus areas our Occupational Therapist can support you with.

Get Connected
Book A Free Consultation
Before connecting you with Harsha, we would like to invite you for a free twenty-minute consultation with our Client Care Coordinator.
The consultation is not a therapy session. It’s a chance for you to ask any questions you may have about us and for us to make sure you are in the best possible hands.
Therapy is all about the right fit. We are sure you’ll find the right fit with us, where neurodivergence is normal.
