FAQs

Anyone experiencing a challenge impacting their daily functioning may benefit from Occupational Therapy. Occupational Therapists are trained to address functional challenges arising from cognitive, psychological, motor, sensory, activity demand, and/or environmental factors.

We work with individuals ages 13+ impacted by mental health disorders, neurodivergent conditions, substance use disorders, mild to moderate intellectual and developmental disabilities, and neurocognitive conditions like stroke and traumatic brain injury.

We address the specific areas you want support in, rather than placing emphasis on a specific diagnosis.

Occupational therapy focuses on daily functioning through practical tasks, skill-building, and learning strategies. Our approach is comprehensive and addresses cognitive, psychological, sensory, environmental, activity demand, and physical components.

Occupational therapy complements psychiatry (medication management focus) and psychotherapy (emotion, thought, and behavior focus) with a distinct emphasis on function and activity engagement to increase independence and satisfaction in one’s daily life.

Occupational Therapists are skilled in activity analysis, which involves analyzing the unique interactions between an individual, the environment, and the task that contribute to performance. This helps OTs identify appropriate points of intervention to improve activity performance and independence. 

Sessions involve a combination of learning life skills, improving component skills (cognitive, motor), and applying appropriate compensatory strategies.

First, book a free consultation via the Contact page of our website . Next, obtain a signed OT referral from a medical provider. Finally, schedule an initial evaluation with Vee OT to identify goals. We will begin intervention sessions after completion of the initial evaluation.

Coverage for services varies by insurance. We currently accept Medicare Part B insurance. While we do not take other insurance plans at this time, we can provide a super bill for potential reimbursement.

The initial evaluation session lasts 60-90 minutes.  Intervention sessions vary but are typically 45-60 minutes. Re-evaluation sessions are completed periodically to assess progress and last 30-60 minutes.

Session frequency varies based on one’s needs and goals. Consistency and practice are pivotal for progress.  Most individuals can expect to meet with an OT on a weekly basis initially.

Duration varies based on individual factors, but most individuals can expect to participate in services for at least 3 months.

Tele-health occupational therapy sessions are available for some individuals and specific treatment needs. While we acknowledge the potential for tele-health services, we generally recommend starting with in-person sessions to facilitate thorough clinical observations and provide more structured support.

Currently, we do not provide group sessions. Our emphasis is on personalized 1:1 care, although we acknowledge the benefits of social learning in a group setting. Group sessions may be offered in the future.

Ask what type of support they would prefer towards their goals. Model consistency by following through on recommendations that support your loved one’s progress. Offer encouragement and recognize that any type of therapy is hard work!
