Heidi Womack
Occupational Therapist OTR, MOT
Online & In-Person
Hi! I’m Heidi Womack, founder of Happy Horizons Therapy, PLLC.  I’ve been a Pediatric Occupational Therapist for 17 wonderful years and LOVE what I do. I firmly believe that every child has greatness and that they are capable of living their happiest, most fulfilling life. I am here to not only help your child achieve their developmental milestones, but to also be a new support system for you and your family.  My role with you and your child extends beyond the term “therapist” into that of coach, cheerleader, advocate, helper, and teacher.  My goal is for you to feel fully supported within the therapy experience, and for your child to feel successful in their ability to play, socialize, move, talk, eat, dress, write, and so much more!  For the children who struggle in one or more of these areas, and for the parents who might be frustrated or overwhelmed, I understand.  I have been in your shoes. I am here to help. You are not alone! I have specialized training to assist your child with deficits in the following areas: * Fine motor skills * Visual motor integration skills (eye-hand coordination) * Visual perceptual skills  * Gross motor/Motor development skills * Sensory Processing/Sensory Integration * Feeding difficulties * Autism/Pervasive Developmental Disorder * Developmental delays * Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) * Strength/Endurance/Range of Motion * School Readiness skills (pre-writing, scissor skills) * Handwriting Remediation * Dyslexia * Bilateral coordination * Social Emotional Regulation * Infant Motor Development * Feeding Disorders/Picky Eating * Attention/Concentration/ADHD * Planning and organization

When we feel stuck, taking steps forward can feel like a monumental task. We can work together to break down your thoughts and uncertainties, determine the best way forward, and put practical strategies into action, to empower you to create the life you want for yourself.

Therapy with me involves weaving together practical skill-building and evidence-based strategies to help you achieve your individualized goals. I work with individuals experiencing difficult life transitions at work, at home, or at school. Through individual, parent, or family sessions, we will untangle your thoughts, improve your self-esteem, and take tangible steps towards sustainable change. Neurodiversity (Autism & ADHD) affirming and LGBTQ+ friendly, I always take a person-centric approach. When you have a better understanding of who you are and what you want, your goals will feel attainable. Everyone has the ability to move past the struggles they’re experiencing, and together we can create solutions and develop skills to build long-term happiness.
