About

Picture of Julie Seidens,  blonde woman with curly hair

Hello!  My name is Julie Seidens.  I began my professional career as a kindergarten teacher for 10+ years.  I made a career change to occupational therapy in 2014 and have been a practicing pediatric home health therapist since 2019. I provide therapy for fine motor, gross motor, feeding, self-help, and social-emotional skills. I specialize in working with children with sensory and reflex integration differences and have experience treating autism, ADHD, and other developmental disorders and delays.  I provide flexible sessions in-home, at childcare centers, or through telehealth.  I believe in a holistic, play-based, child centered and neurodiversity affirming approach.  I can't wait to work with your child and family!​

FAQs

I am currently a private pay provider. If you are seeking reimbursement from your insurance company, a Superbill (detailed receipts) can be provided and will have the treatment codes, diagnosis codes, and all of the necessary information. You may contact your insurance company directly to determine if they provide coverage for out-of-network assessment and treatment for occupational therapy services. Each insurance company is different and it is your responsibility to contact your insurance provider to find out exactly what is covered.
