How can we help?
Holistic Occupational Therapy Services
Our holistic approach to occupational therapy honors the whole person within the context of daily life— including physical abilities, nervous system regulation, relationships, routines, and family or support systems. Grounded in trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming care, we collaborate with individuals and families to create personalized plans that support participation, autonomy, and confidence across the lifespan.
If you’re wondering whether a consultation or an evaluation is the right next step, you’re welcome to reach out for clarity or information. We’re happy to answer questions and support you in choosing what feels most appropriate for you or your family.
Pediatric Occupational Therapy (Birth–Adolescence)
Pediatric occupational therapy at The Family OT supports children across development—from birth through adolescence—by honoring the whole child and their unique nervous system.
We take a holistic, strengths-based approach that considers physical, sensory, emotional, relational, and environmental factors. Our goal is not to change who a child is, but to support regulation, participation, autonomy, and confidence in daily life.
Pediatric OT may support:
- Sensory processing and regulation
- Emotional regulation and nervous system support
- Feeding and mealtime participation
- Toileting and daily routines
- Fine motor and gross motor skills
- Play, learning, and social participation
- Developmental support for infants and toddlers (Birth–3)
- Transitions, independence, and self-advocacy
All care is collaborative, trauma-informed, and neurodivergent-affirming.
Pediatric Pelvic Floor Occupational Therapy
Pediatric pelvic floor occupational therapy is a non-invasive, evidence-based approach that supports children experiencing challenges with bowel and bladder function.
Our work focuses on body awareness, nervous system regulation, coordination, and routines that support independence and confidence—without shame or pressure.
We support children with:
- Constipation and stool withholding
- Urinary or bowel accidents
- Bedwetting
- Pelvic floor coordination challenges
Care is always external, respectful, and paced to the child’s comfort and readiness.
Sensory Integration
We recognize sensory processing differences as natural variations in how nervous systems experience the world.
Sensory integration at The Family OT is not about “fixing,” suppressing, or normalizing behavior. Instead, we support self-understanding, regulation, and access by helping individuals identify their sensory needs and discover strategies that work for their body.
This service supports:
- Sensory awareness and regulation
- Movement, balance, and body-based regulation
- Sensory safety and confidence
- Understanding sensory needs as communication
Sensory integration services may be part of pediatric OT or adult sensory wellness, depending on age and goals.
Adult Sensory Wellness
Occupational therapy isn’t just for children.
Adult sensory wellness supports neurodivergent adults, highly sensitive individuals, and those navigating stress, burnout, or nervous system overwhelm. This work is collaborative, affirming, and grounded in respect for lived experience.
Support may include:
- Sensory processing and regulation
- Nervous system awareness and embodiment
- Workplace or daily-life sensory accommodations
- Burnout prevention and sustainability
- Life transitions and routine support
- Eating/feeding differences such as ARFID
Our approach honors autonomy, choice, and wholeness—meeting adults where they are.
Family Education
Education is not an add-on at The Family OT—it is a core part of every service.
Family education supports caregivers, parents, and individuals who want guidance, clarity, and tools to support themselves or their children outside of therapy sessions.
Family education may include:
- Understanding nervous systems and sensory needs
- Home strategies and routine support
- Collaborative problem-solving
- Coaching and consultation
- Empowerment through knowledge, not pressure
This option is especially supportive if you’re not ready for ongoing therapy but want informed guidance from a specialized clinician.
Parent Coaching
Parent coaching at The Family OT offers caregivers a dedicated space to meet one-on-one with an occupational therapist—without their child present—to reflect, ask questions, and gain clarity.
These sessions are collaborative and supportive, focusing on understanding your child’s nervous system, sensory needs, and patterns within the context of your family’s daily life. Together, we explore strategies, routines, and perspectives that feel realistic and aligned with your values, rather than overwhelming or prescriptive.
Parent coaching is not about fixing your child or doing things “right.” It is about building understanding, confidence, and sustainable support so you can respond with greater ease, attunement, and intention in everyday moments.
This service may be helpful if you’re seeking guidance, space to process, or a thoughtful plan forward—whether or not your child is currently receiving therapy.
