Katherine Zintel

OTR/L | Mill Creek - Pediatric Therapy

"A child's occupation is learning how to interact with their world and the people in it."

Katherine believes in facilitating a child's development by providing playful experiences at the 'just right challenge.' She also loves helping caregivers to better understand their child's development by inviting them to participate in therapy sessions and providing education specific to their family.

Katherine's experience includes working at an after school program, an adult group home, a pediatric mental health facility, an outpatient pediatric sensory clinic, and most recently as an outpatient OT with kids with prenatal drug/alcohol exposure. Katherine brings a trauma-informed lens to her work and has experience working with kids involved in the foster care system.
