Rachel Paten, OTR/L

Founder & Occupational Therapist

Rachel was inspired to enter the field of Occupational Therapy due to the progress she witnessed in her own child. Her personal experience, combined with her training, provides a unique perspective and deep empathy for the families she serves.

Rachel's experience includes pediatric outpatient, in-home, and virtual service delivery, providing a comprehensive understanding of how children function in different environments. This allows her to create individualized treatment plans that translate across all areas of a child's life outside of what traditional insurance-based models allow.

By offering flexible in-home and virtual therapy sessions, Rachel meets families where they are. She builds parental/caregiver confidence through coaching that includes hands-on training, phone support, virtual Q&A, and optional support groups.

Rachel is currently pursuing certification in aquatic therapy to provide additional therapeutic services to families in Brevard County, FL. In her free time, she enjoys reading the Bible, swimming, and spending quality time with her family.
