Hello! I wanted to give you a face and a name for the magic behind the scenes here at A Fun Therapy. My name is Stephanie Anderson and I have been practicing occupational therapy for over 6 years. Working with children has always been my passion since I was old enough to care for others. I was in nursing school when I discovered Occupational Therapy and switched career paths, and I am so glad I did! I specialize in pediatrics and have experience in home-based, school-based and outpatient clinic therapies.
I started incorporating equine movement into my sessions in 2021 after many years of longing to be here! When I was in school, the very first assignment they had me complete was a paper on what my dream job would be. I wrote about how I had always loved the idea of animal assisted therapy but hippotherapy was my ultimate goal.
I have had the pleasure of working alongside phenomenal therapists of all disciplines who were eager to teach me new ways to help my clients be more independent. I am proud to say, I am now pursuing becoming a Speech-Language Pathologist! It is a dream to be able to provide both occupational and speech therapy services to families here in the East Valley.
I am an Arizona native, living in Gilbert with my husband and sweet dog, Stella! When I'm not planning fun sessions or playing with my clients, you can find me hiking, traveling or kayaking- everything outdoors is my happy place!
Thank you for taking the time to learn about me, I look forward to meeting you!
I am grateful for this opportunity to share my expertise and improve lives through my practice!
