OT provides concrete, practical solutions by focusing on your strengths and concerns and collaborating with you to shift your environments and daily activities to better support your needs. Mental health OTs use an action-oriented approach. The goal is to foster your growth and healing by engaging in activities that are meaningful to you.

OT can help with:

  • Building a satisfying daily routine & healthy habits

  • Addressing sensory needs and preferences

  • Increasing understanding of mental, cognitive, and physical health needs

  • Nervous system support practices

  • Executive function support

  • Medication management and health maintenance

  • So much more!

Expressive Arts Approaches

Expressive arts approaches combine somatic (body-based) therapies, mindfulness, and creativity to promote healing.

Rather than focusing on the final product, the process of creation via nonverbal language is the emphasis. Clients might journal, dance, paint, collage, or make art with natural items.

Expressive arts can help you:

  • Process and communicate difficult feelings non-verbally

  • Feel more present and embodied

  • Understand and regulate your nervous system

  • Experience feelings of safety, peace, and calm

  • Build self esteem and self efficacy

  • Practice & experience mindfulness skills

  • Deepen your relationship with creativity and bring more creativity into daily life

  • Heal effects of trauma, stress, anxiety, and depression

  • Tap into intuitive, spiritual, or less concrete understandings of self and relationships

Megan Black, OTR/L (she/her)

I completed my Master of Occupational Therapy (MOT) at University of Washington and my Nature-Based Expressive Arts Practitioner Certification is currently in progress with the Expressive Arts Therapy Institute. My eclectic approach includes expressive and somatic modalities, nervous system education, and cognitive skills training. With a background in mental health and job coaching with people with developmental disabilities and neurodivergent clients, I have experience with neurodiversity-affirming support to help participants attain their goals and dreams. My aim is to empower participants to engage meaningfully in their everyday life with ease, confidence, and authenticity.

  • I provide online sessions.

  • Yes! I accept Regence, Premera, and First Choice Health Network!

    I also accept private pay. I am an out of network provider and can provide a superbill. Some clients are able to receive partial reimbursement from their insurance using a superbill.

  • If you have Regence or First Choice insurance, you will only pay your occupational therapy copay.

    Normal rate for private pay is $160. If this presents a financial hardship, I offer sliding scale fees of $100-$150 for a limited number of clients.

    I can provide a superbill so you can pursue reimbursement through your insurance.
