FOUNDER, OTR/L

I’m Stephanie! I am certified occupational therapist licensed in North Carolina and New York. I received my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Manhattan College and continued to earn my master’s degree in occupational therapy from American International College.

My experience ranges from ages 0-21 within the schools, homes, and outpatient settings. I have furthered my career through various continuing education coursework including pediatric feeding (CAN-EAT certified), massage and bodywork, sensory processing, executive functioning, reflex integration, and clinical leadership.

What fuels my OT fire? Building connections! My passion lies in understanding each individual, tailoring interventions, and fostering relationships that go beyond the clinic walls. A born and raised New Yorker, I traded in the fast-paced environment and moved to North Carolina, but my New York energy follows me everywhere I go!

OTR/L

Hi! I’m Amanda :) I am a certified occupational therapist licensed in North Carolina and Massachusetts. I attended an accelerated 5-year program where I received my bachelors degree in occupational science and my masters degree in occupational therapy from American International College. 

My experience ranges from ages 0-21 with a variety of diagnoses within outpatient settings and homes.  To further my knowledge, I have participated in many continuing education courses including primitive reflex integration, pediatric feeding, sensory progressing, executive functioning skills and neurodiversity affirming practices. 

I am passionate about supporting each child’s individual needs while working towards family goals. I take pride in building a trustworthy relationship with each child and family to best support them. I love to help children learn through play that they can do hard things! 

CERTIFIED THERAPY DOG

WOOF! Hi, my name is Dash. I was born in Connecticut, but have been raised in north Carolina! I am a certified therapy dog with over 3 years of experience. I received my training beginning at 10 weeks old through Jackie’s Basics and Beyond.

I have completed over 500 days of work, receiving an AKC title of Therapy Dog Distinguished, which basically means that I am an expert at giving lots of love and cuddles! Curious about what my job is? Animal-Assisted Therapy is a form of creative therapy that utilizes credentialed therapy dogs to provide goal-directed interventions.

I work hard to help people feel comfortable and improve their abilities confidently. The best part of my job is sharing my love with everyone around me. In my spare time, I love going for walks, exercising at my agility classes, frolicking on the beach (swimming too!), taking naps (sorry, I snore!), going for car rides, and eating lots of treats!
