Petoskey Area Occupational Therapy
PEDIATRIC OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
I provide occupational therapy and family-centered consultation for children, teens, adults, and families in the Petoskey area.
Thriving Littles supports participation and well-being in everyday life: play, relationships, sleep, mealtimes, routines, and more. Families often seek support for meltdowns, anxiety, attention challenges, sleep, transitions, and daily activities like dressing or eating.
Sessions are play-based and goal-oriented, focusing on interaction, activity, and environment to help children and families thrive.
Evaluations assess areas such as sensory processing, motor skills, visual processing, and reflex integration- always tailored to your child.
Care is strengths-based, using connection, play, and joy to support meaningful, lasting growth.
We begin with an intake session followed by a parent-only meeting to review history, observations, and recommendations for session frequency, structure, and duration.
Parents are encouraged to book regular parent-only sessions to support understanding, ensure sustainability at home, and focus on the essential elements for lasting change - nourishment from the inside out, for each of you.

ADULT OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Some adults seek occupational therapy for support with neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, stress, or feeling stuck. Others are navigating triggers, transitions, or important decisions and want to respond from a grounded, secure place.
This work focuses on understanding your nervous system, working through triggers, and building sustainable well-being through reliable co-regulation.
I also specialize in parent support - helping adults better understand themselves and strengthen connection with their children at any age.
The aim is to live in alignment with your values, rather than reacting from old patterns.

INSURANCE INFORMATION
Thriving Littles and Thriving Beings are out-of-network with all insurance providers.
A detailed receipt of all payments and services - called a superbill - may be emailed to you monthly by request, and typically this requires a diagnosis code from your physician. You may submit this superbill to your insurance company to request reimbursement. Once submitted, your insurer will determine if and how your benefits apply.
As an out-of-network provider, we do not communicate directly with insurance companies. This policy allows us to protect your privacy and focus our time and energy on providing personalized care. Communicate directly with your insurer for any questions or reimbursement needs.
We encourage you to contact your insurance company to learn about your out-of-network occupational therapy benefits. You can do this by calling the number on the back of your insurance card.
You may also ask your insurance representative which procedure codes (CPT codes) correspond with your diagnosis code. Common OT codes include:
97530 – Therapeutic activities
97535 – Home management / IADL training
97533 – Sensory integrative techniques
97165 / 97166 / 97167 / 97168 – Occupational therapy evaluation or re-evaluation
90837 – Psychotherapy / behavioral health
Please note that if you choose to submit claims to your insurance company, they may require certain treatment and confidential information to be shared for reimbursement purposes.
Most insurance plans also require a referral or prescription from your pediatrician for occupational therapy evaluation and treatment before your first session. It is your responsibility to request this referral with relevant diagnosis code/s and provide it to us by bringing it to your first session or emailing it to team@thrivinglittles.com.
Determine and communicate what documentation is needed to Thriving Littles: e.g. evaluation with diagnosis (as documented by physician), plan of care, treatment goals, frequency, and progress notes. Maintaining necessary documentation to obtain insurance reimbursement is the client’s responsibility.
Sample questions families have had success with asking their insurance provider:
Does my plan cover OT (outpatient) for children? Is it in-network only or is out-of-network reimbursement allowed?
Do I need a physician referral/prescription to get OT reimbursed?
What diagnosis codes are covered? Is there a policy about sensory integration/OT?
What CPT codes are covered?
What is the reimbursement amount out-of-network? Are there limits on number of sessions?
