About Me 

My name is Kristin Everhart, a national board certified occupational therapist liscenced in Washington, Oregon and Michigan.​

​

I grew up in Michigan, spent much of my adult life in Oregon, and have settled here in Washington. I grew up swimming competitively and for fun in both pools and the great lakes of Michigan. I love being outside on any beach or trail. I love looking for rocks and trinkets with my dog and partner. I recognize the value nature can bring to our physical and psychological wellbeing. 

​

I have been collaborating with children and families for over a decade across a variety of roles within mental health and social services settings prior to becoming an Occupational therapist in 2023. This background heavily influenced and shaped my process as an occupational therapist, allowing me to approach each child with an understanding of the many factors that influence development, behavior, and well-being.

​

I have experience working with children with a wide range of strengths and needs, including neurodivergent children, those navigating emotional or behavioral challenges, and children with experiences of trauma. I value and celebrate diverse family structures and believe that meaningful support begins with connection, trust, and respect.

​

My practice is grounded in trauma-informed and neuro- affirming principles and I value a relationship based approach. I believe that every child deserves respect, autonomy, choice and to be heard regardless of their form of communication. I believe my role is to support them in building skills, confidence, and a sense of safety in their world.

​

I am committed to creating a space where all children and families feel seen, respected, and valued and strive to ensure my practice is inclusive, welcoming, and affirming of all identities. I strive to foster a space rooted in respect, dignity, and belonging for everyone.
