Occupational Therapist

Help redefine pediatric occupational therapy.

At Advanced Therapy & Wellness Center, we believe individuals deserve more than symptom management—they deserve clinicians who are committed to understanding the why behind their challenges.

We are an innovative outpatient pediatric therapy clinic specializing in whole-person, root-cause care. Our therapists combine evidence-informed occupational therapy with advanced training in nervous system regulation, developmental movement, bodywork, feeding, airway-informed care, sensory integration, and interdisciplinary collaboration to help people across the lifespan reach their fullest potential.

If you are passionate about learning, love thinking critically, enjoy collaborating with other professionals, and want to become an exceptional clinician, we'd love to meet you.

About Our Clinic

Our mission is to provide an unmatched whole-person approach to evaluation and treatment, collaborating with like-minded providers to obtain the most optimal outcomes for our patients, including:

• Airway-centered dentists and orthodontists
• Lactation consultants
• Chiropractors
• CranioSacral Therapists
• Physical Therapists
• ENTs
• Pediatricians

Our therapists are encouraged to think beyond diagnoses and identify the underlying factors influencing occupational performance through comprehensive assessment and collaborative treatment planning.
