Olivia Levchak
OTR/L

Olivia grew up in Lake Tapps, WA before attending Western Washington University, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. She then pursued her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy at Clarkson University in New York, ultimately returning to the greater Seattle area to begin her career as a pediatric occupational therapist.

Her interest in occupational therapy was sparked in high school when she had the opportunity to volunteer in the Rehabilitation Department at the Seattle Veteran Affairs Hospital. Working closely with the occupational therapy team and Veterans gave her a unique perspective on how daily activities can be therapeutic and help individuals find their independence.

Olivia has always enjoyed working with children; she has volunteered with several youth programs during high school and undergraduate studies through local track & cross-country teams and YMCA youth programs. Pediatric occupational therapy has always been the driving force behind pursing higher education.

Olivia’s favorite part of being a pediatric occupational therapist is the opportunity to support children and families to reach their goals and foster participation in meaningful occupations. Creating a fun and enriching environment to develop skills is essential to her practice, as is advocating for her patients and families.

Outside of her professional life, Olivia enjoys exploring new areas if the PNW, playing board games or video games, spending time with friends and family, and snuggling up with her cat, Remus, with a good tv show or movie and a good cup of coffee.
