My name is Allison Heitzinger.

I am a mama to 4 littles and an Occupational and Feeding Therapist. I received a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from Seattle University in 2011 and my Masters of Science in Occupational Therapy from A.T. Still University in 2014. I have been in private practice working alongside families in Arizona ever since. I enjoy the opportunity to come alongside families and help their children reach their full potential through building their confidence, skills, knowledge, and functional capabilities. When I am not in the clinic I am joyfully in the trenches of motherhood and love to bake, play games, garden, hike, run, and try new adventures.

My name is Melissa McCormick.

I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the Brown Mackie College Occupational Therapy Assistant Program. I feel very blessed to have a career that focuses on helping amazing children develop skills and self-esteem through meaningful and fun activities. I have been working with children my entire life. From helping my mother raise my siblings, helping my aunt with her foster children, being a live-in nanny through my teen years as well as working with children with special needs at my church and for the school district, not to mention raising 2 amazing boys of my own. When I’m not at work I enjoy spending time with my wonderful husband Paul and my 2 boys Hunter and Blake. I also enjoy playing with my 2 dogs (Jade and Bear), my chickens (too many to list all their names), and gardening on my little farm.

I went back to school to become an SLPA in 2013 at Estrella Mountain Community College and worked one year as that in a school setting, then taught 3rd grade last year at Imagine Rosefield.
