Kerri Lindeman, OTD, OTR/L

I am a licensed occupational therapist in the state of Michigan. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from Cornerstone University and completed my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Western Michigan University.

My goal is to take a holistic approach when treating a child. By addressing their needs comprehensively, I aim to enhance their independence in various environments, including the home, school, and community. This considers the immediate challenges as well as how to empower them to thrive across all aspects of their lives.

I have experience in Masgutova Neurosensorymotor Reflex Integration, trauma-informed care, zones of regulation, systematic desensitization, and sensory modulation.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends including trying new restaurants, crafting, paddleboarding, walks in nature, gardening, and playing with my dog, Sadie.

Tera Richards, MS, OTRL

I entered into the field of occupational therapy with a servant’s heart, seeking to positively impact the lives of clients and families alike. My favorite part about being an occupational therapist is when I can help a child achieve a milestone, even those that seem small, that allows for a child to be more independent and confident.

I have additional training in the following programs:

Rhythmic Movements (2024)
Spot of Emotions (2024)
Reflex Integration (2024), (2020)
Zones of Regulation (2019)
Learning Without Tears, Certified Handwriting Specialist (2019)
Alert Program (2018)
Pragmatic Organization Dynamic Display (PODD) (2018)
Statewide Autism Resources and Training (START) Project (2019)
Autism Certification Center: ASD Strategies in Action, Foundations of Evidence-Based Strategies - Toddler and Preschool Age (2019)
Autism Certification Center: ASD Strategies in Action, Many Faces of Autism (2017)

I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes my fraternal twins and husband. I am a West-Michigan native and true midwesterner. I enjoy a variety of outdoor activities, including pickleball, kayaking, paddle boarding, camping, hiking, waterfall chasing, snowshoeing, and tending to my plants and flowers. I also enjoy volunteering and attending church and finding joy in each day that God has blessed me with.

Ms. Mara (PT) and Ms. Kerri (OT) were so supportive with our 12 year old son. He needed some support with his core strength to help with life-long issues related to constipation. Additionally, he needed some support with his fine motor and overall self-regulation. I was anxious, worried that our pre-teen boy would be resistant to the help. Our son immediately engaged with both practitioners and it was never a battle to go to his appointments. He always left smiling and eager to share what he learned. We saw great improvement in only 4 months. This is no doubt related to the consistent communication (and not to mention flexibility with scheduling those early mornings for us!) and the high levels of engagement for each session. While our treatment program was only required for a few months, we saw a lot of significant growth and our son (and his family!) now have life-long tools to support optimal functioning! I would absolutely recommend these clinicians to others.
