Occupational Therapy

Practical support to help individuals improve daily functioning, routines, emotional regulation, work readiness, and quality of life.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy at Rising Warrior Psychotherapy helps clients rebuild stability, structure, and meaningful participation in daily life. Trauma, operational stress injuries, and major life transitions can disrupt routines, work, relationships, and the activities that give life meaning — occupational therapy works to restore them.

Our occupational therapy services are provided by Kelsey Tucker, an award-winning Occupational Therapist with over a decade of experience in community mental health, rehabilitation, and trauma-informed care. Her work emphasizes practical strategies that restore autonomy, strengthen relationships, and support reintegration into work, family, and community roles.

Sessions draw on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mind-body medicine, and cognitive rehabilitation, integrated through an occupational therapy lens. Care is trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and shaped around each person’s goals, needs, and pace.

Occupational therapy is integrated within our comprehensive treatment approach, helping clients chart meaning through re-engagement, self-discovery, and real-world resilience — creating personalized, evidence-based pathways toward recovery and long-term wellbeing.

What to Expect From Care

Every client comes to us with a different history, level of stress, and reason for seeking support. Whether you are a veteran, first responder, family member, or civilian looking for trauma informed care, our team will help determine whether this service is a good fit for your needs, goals, and preferences.

We take a thoughtful approach to matching clients with the right clinical specialist. During the intake process, we consider your concerns, treatment goals, location, scheduling needs, and the type of support you are looking for. This helps us connect you with the team member and service that best align with your care.

Rising Warrior Psychotherapy offers in person services in Belleville and Kingston, along with virtual care where appropriate. This gives clients flexible options for accessing support while staying connected to care that is clinically appropriate and convenient.

Getting started begins with a confidential intake. Our team will learn more about what you are looking for, answer your questions, and help guide the next step. From there, we can recommend the most appropriate service, specialist, or care pathway based on your needs.
