Kelsey Schweinsberg
Doctor of Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapist Registered/Licensed
My passion for Occupational Therapy ignited while I was a nanny for a young boy with developmental disabilities and experiencing the ‘light bulb’ moment as he achieved new skills. I am an out-of-the-box thinker who thrives to meet children and families where they’re at and build on their success.
I believe the Lord has called me to expand my current practice of school-based Occupational Therapy (ages 3-21) at Valley Christian Counseling and Wellness. He equips me daily to view children in a unique, holistic way. I am excited to provide wraparound services for families in their homes as well as here at the center.
