Alexandra Zuck, OTD, OTR/L
Hello and welcome to my page. I'm so happy you're here! My name is Dr. Alex Zuck, but you can call me Alex. I'm a licensed and registered occupational therapist in California and an enthusiast of all things health related: mental, physical, spiritual - and beyond! As an occupational therapist, I help children and adults experiencing disability participate in life - safely, practically, and meaningfully. I love my profession and I'm so passionate about helping people live authentically, in a way that is healthiest for their own wants and needs. Outside of occupational therapy, I enjoy writing, traveling, music and fitness.
Navigating the healthcare system is challenging and exhausting. Knowledge and education are powerful tools to stay ahead of the curve. It's important to me to provide health-promoting information and tools to grow. Join my mailing list below to make sure you don't miss a thing!

My healthcare background.
Born and raised in a small city on the north coast of Ohio, and since moving among different areas of the United States, with age I've experienced an interest in the diversity of life experiences, backgrounds, and health outcomes in the United States. Combined with clinical and volunteer experiences in a variety of practice settings, as well as doctoral training within homeless healthcare, I'm passionate about bridging gaps within healthcare as it relates to functional participation and positive health outcomes, while utilizing a client-centered, dynamic, and rehabilitation-based focus. The last three years of clinical experience, I've focused on work with children in the school-setting as well as the outpatient clinical setting. I value creativity, playfulness and advocacy and strive to help empower and educate parents and families using the tools and clinical skills that I am continuing to hone.
