When you're addressing daily-life challenges connected to the nervous system, it’s critical to be the expert who sees the big picture.

DOCTOR MARIELLY MITCHELL, OTD, OTR/L, SWC, SIPT

In her attempt to work through those frustrating plateaus in therapy, Doctor Marielly created an innovative approach to working with clients that incorporates concepts from sensory processing, myofunctional therapy, cranial nerve integration, and feeding & swallowing. 

By untangling the complicated influences of the nervous system, her work is revolutionizing how challenges for children and families are assessed and addressed.

Doctor Marielly is committed to helping each family and therapists discover the root causes behind functional challenges. No surface-level, ineffective therapy around here.

THE MARIELLY METHOD

Transforming Clinical Practice for OT and SLP 

With Doctor Marielly’s expertise in sensory processing, cranial nerve integration, and myofunctional therapy, you finally get answers and results for a wide range of mood, behavioral, and attention problems.

The “Marielly Method” starts by looking at the airway, tongue movement, and mouth structure. This determines if orofacial factors are contributing to dysregulation, behavioral, or feeding challenges. 

From there, you’re able to map out the best path forward from occupational therapy or speech therapy perspective. This approach is especially important for those with a history of tongue-tie, feeding issues, mouth-breathing, and/or poor sleep. 

Doctor Marielly’s Method will forever change your practice and the lives of those you work with.

Clients are Saying Good Things…

“The swing is amazing I can’t recommend it enough. I work with a kindergartner who isn’t quite as motivated academically and lacks the physicality for his age.

“I am so grateful that we found Marielly when we did. She is a truly gifted and insightful OT. My daughter Autumn adores her and really enjoys their sessions.

“We have been fortunate enough to start working with Marielly from January of 2016. At the time, my son was testing below average in many areas.
