YOU
Client or Parent of Client
At Meadow Minds, we highly value collaboration! Whether you are the client or the parent of the client, your input is necessary for progress. As the parent, you know your child best, so your goals are our priorities. Your input is valuable. At the end of every session, whether it’s in-home or online, we take about 5 minutes to debrief you on what was done, progress made, and ideas for the next session. It is important for us at Meadow Minds to ensure you are informed about your child’s progress regularly and feel like you are a part of the therapeutic process.
Alisha Gandha
Occupational Therapist
About me
I love getting to know each child and discovering what makes them feel confident, capable, and excited to learn. I especially enjoy finding creative and playful ways to work toward therapeutic goals while building on each child’s individual strengths and interests. Working alongside families is also incredibly rewarding, and I love being able to provide practical strategies that can be carried into everyday routines at home.
I believe that therapy should feel safe, encouraging, and fun. I strive to create a space where children feel comfortable being themselves, celebrating the small wins along the way. I also believe that parents and caregivers know their children best, so I value working together with families to create strategies that feel realistic and meaningful for their everyday lives.
