Introducing Mental Health OT

Hi. I am so glad you’re here. My name is Dr. Julia Colman, and I am a board-certified pediatric occupational therapist with extensive experience working in hospital, school, and community settings. I have a deep appreciation for minds of all kinds and find great joy in working with neurodivergent individuals. 

With my firsthand understanding of the relationship between sensory needs, nervous system health, and overall well-being, I am passionate about providing neurodiversity-affirming services to people of all ages, including sensory assessments and individual therapy. I am also committed to advocating for more sensory-friendly practices within the healthcare and educational systems.

Let's explore your sensory life together and embark on a journey towards improved well-being.
