Occupational Therapy is a dynamic profession centered on holistic and evidence-based practice. Few people know that OTs can work in mental health, yet it is within this domain from which OT originated. As occupational therapists, we take the entire being of our client into consideration. We want our clients to experience the best quality of life possible which requires the consideration of any unique characteristics that make up an individual.
OT can help with:
- coping skills,
- activities that improve a person’s self-perception,
- strength-based approaches to ADHD and other learning differences,
- strategies for suicide prevention,
- using creativity to explore the importance of leisure activities in balance with work.
These are just a few examples of what is possible. For more information about how OT could help your situation or organization, please contact us for more information!
About the owner & founder
Amanda Bluhm OTD, OTR/L
Amanda is passionate about helping people improve their self-concept and in helping find the life-giving truths for each individual. Her passion includes educating people about learning differences and generational poverty - subjects of which she speaks from personal experiences and research. She graduated from Rocky Mountain College's Doctor of Occupational Therapy Program in November of 2022 and has since ventured into the business world. Amanda wants to cultivate hope for the hopeless today when it is needed most, and thus, 828 Turning Point PLLC was born.
Amanda also holds Bachelors of Arts degrees in Music and in German from Oregon State University. She enjoys spending time with her dog, Georgia, laughing with good friends, being in water, playing music, and growing her faith.
About the Name
828 refers to Romans 8:28. Although clients of 828 Turning Point do not need to share the same faith as the founder, it is what shapes the lens with which the owner will approach each individual - where are the strengths and how do we make the gunk turn around & work for us?
