Welcome to Are You Better Yet Therapy Services!
We specialize in treating high-functioning clients who have complex health issues including chronic pain, concussion and difficulty with work.
We meet with clients that feel like there is still potential to get back to their 100%, but are unsure of how to get there because of delayed healing, plateau or overwhelming daily symptoms. They may be struggling with daily demands like parenting and keeping up with household chores. They might be trying to work, but burn out quickly. Some are working and juggling daily activities just fine, but feel exhausted all the time or get sick often.
I started my company out of a need for private occupational therapy for people recovering from accidents, illness or burnout when they had hit a plateau with community therapy or were “too functional” to go to group self-management programs.
At Are You Better Yet, we know that it is really hard to work when you are in pain, feeling stressed out, exhausted or can barely sleep. Injuries and illness can affect all aspects of your life and recovery can often take longer than you or your doctor predicts. We also understand that healing takes place on many levels and involves the body, mind and spirit together. The occupational therapy team at Are You Better Yet uses a holistic approach and will work with you to design a treatment plan that suits your needs and goals; we focus on what’s meaningful to you.
We welcome clients from all backgrounds, genders and walks of life and can support you at any stage of your health journey.
The occupational therapists (OTs) working with me are skilled in diverse modalities of occupational therapy, whether you need counselling, education, equipment adaptations, ergonomic support, help with return to work or assessment for an insurance company. I welcome and love to teach therapists in all stages of their careers, and I am very choosy about who is part of the team here at Are You Better Yet. Our therapists use a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach and are skilled in symptom self-management for complex pain, trauma, concussion, anxiety and depression; they have also all completed additional training and supervision in these practice areas, provide teaching to students and other therapists and have committed to excellence and lifelong learning in their practice.
I hope that after working with us, when someone asks “Are you better yet?” you can finally say “YES!!”
