Owner, Opened practice in March 2020

 

Hi!  My name is Valerie and I am the owner of Everything In Between, LLC.  I knew I wanted to be an occupational therapist since I was 11 years old.  My younger sister received OT services and I loved watching her play as a way to grow and develop.  I did a career day at the UNE OT clinic in 5th grade, and I never veered off that path.  I graduated with my Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy from the University of New England in 2008 and have been practicing now for 16 years.  I have worked in acute inpatient, acute rehab, skilled nursing, and primarily outpatient services in that time.  My drive to open my own practice came from the desire to help people thrive within the community, within their homes, and to offer clinic based services to master the skills they need for day to day living.

 

At EIB I see people of all ages, work within the community, and offer support for parents and caregivers

I became an OT to help people live their most authentic lives by engaging in activities that are meaningful to them. I love working with people and forming connections. I work through a neurodiversity-affirming lens and focus on connection and strength-based approaches. I have an interest in working with autistic individuals, those with sensory processing, and neurological differences. I am always learning and looking for new opportunities for growth. My hobbies include anything outdoors such as hiking, camping, and gardening. I also being by a lake, enjoying a good book, painting, and photography.

Hi! My name is Emilie! I’ve always known I wanted to work in a pediatric setting and after taking a careers class in high school where I got the opportunity to shadow an OT, I knew this was the career path for me. I attended Husson University for an accelerated 2+3 year program, where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Healthcare Studies in 2020 and my Masters in Occupational Therapy in 2022. I completed clinical rotations in hospital-based acute care and an outpatient pediatric setting, which helped to solidify my love for working with kids! I’m passionate about early intervention and development with an emerging interest in feeding and eating. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my nieces and nephew, fishing, and painting.

I was introduced to OT as a college student when my family adopted a medically complex 3 month old baby. I experienced the joy of falling in love with a new little brother and a new career path all at once. Each time he came home from another surgery I would watch his brilliant OT work with him to restore what was lost and help him gain new skills. She in turn taught our family what to do to help him grow and thrive. Now an OT myself, I get to work with people to help them achieve their highest level of independence and turn their challenges into opportunities for growth. Just as my family learned to understand and support my brother, I am passionate about working with families to help them understand their loved one’s needs. Through the power of therapeutic activities, each person can grow their skills and achieve independence, wellness, and joy in their unique lives.
