MANDY MILLS, BA, MOT

Mandy Mills graduated from Simon Fraser University in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and Kinesiology. She later went on to complete her Masters of Occupational Therapy through The University of British Columbia in 2011. Prior to becoming an OT, Mandy had a colorful career as an educational assistant (EA) for Burnaby School Board, a preschool teacher, as well as a recreation programer. All of which has contributed to her love of working with people across the lifespan to improve their quality of life and reach their functional goals.
Mandy initially began her career as an Occupational Therapist working with adults, providing services in: return to work, case management, cognitive rehab and concussive treatment, as well as mental health. She is certified in both physical and cognitive functional capacity evaluations, and has extensive experience in therapy related to hand dysfunction and injury.
After becoming a parent to her own three children, Mandy broadened her focus to include OT work in pediatrics. She is currently on the RASP provider list and has experience providing both OT treatment and assessment in children. Mandy practices from a neuro-diversity affirming lens, and believes that evidence-informed practice and listening to neurodiverse voices is the future of therapy.
Mandy identifies herself as an energetic, thoughtful and creative therapist. She focuses on building a strong relationship with her clients, and their families. Mandy further values staying current with research and evidence based practice and attends several courses per year related to improving her skill set in both pediatric and adult based practices.
In her spare time, Mandy pursues her own sporting activities, and can be seen chasing her three very busy children around the soccer pitch or down a ski slope. As much as she enjoys life’s busyness, she equally values those few quiet moments in everyday life where she can drink a cup of tea, read a good book, or plan an adventure with her husband.
