Terri Peace, OTD, OTR/L

Occupational Therapist, Registered and Licensed, CA, MS, and TN

I graduated from the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences with a Doctor of Occupational Therapy degree in 2023. I began my journey to become an Occupational Therapist at Mississippi State University, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology with a concentration in Clinical Exercise Physiology and a minor in Psychology.

I have always had a passion for helping to enhance the lives of children and their families. I began my career as a Pediatric Occupational Therapist, working in-clinic, with a focus on fine motor skills, gross motor skills, handwriting, self-care skills, sensory regulation, and behavioral regulation. I also have experience in early childhood intervention, with areas such as feeding, reflex integration, and parent coaching.

I focus on client-centered therapy, meeting children where they are to build lasting connections and to celebrate every little win. I enjoy making a difference in a child’s development while watching them grow to be as independent as possible. I strive to provide impactful therapy for families, leaving them hopeful, supported, and loved.
