More than 10 years of clinical experience in physical and mental health.
Occupational Therapy Services
I help individuals achieve occupational balance in their life roles in the face of physical, mental, and chronic health conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, burnout, post concussion syndrome, chronic pain, and fatigue.
Occupational Therapy Services
IN YOUR HOME, WORKPLACE, OR COMMUNITY.
Assessment and treatment of physical, cognitive, and socioemotional barriers can occur in the comfort of your own home, community, workplace, or my office located in Little Italy, Ottawa. I also offer Telehealth Services through a secure user friendly platform that complies with PHIPA/PIPEDA requirements.
Occupational Therapy Services are often covered by third-party providers including Short Term/Long Term Disability Insurers, Workplace Safety and Insurance Board (WSIB), Employers, and Blue Cross for Canadian Veterans. I have experience working with clients sponsored by third party payors including direct billing. I am a registered Health Service Provider with Medavie Blue Cross and Telus Health Solutions. Although some Health Insurance Plans cover OT services, I encourage you to confirm coverage with your provider.

About Aimee McDevitt
I graduated from Saint Francis Xavier University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and subsequently from Dalhousie University with a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy in 2007. I am in good standing with the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario and I am a member of the Ontario Society of Occupational Therapists.
With over 10 years of clinical experience in physical and mental health combined with a commitment to clinical education and training including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in Rehabilitation, CBT for Insomnia, Exposure Therapy for PTSD, Cognitive Rehabilitation, and Concussion Management, I help individuals achieve occupational balance in their life roles in the face of physical, mental, and chronic health conditions such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, burnout, post concussion syndrome, chronic pain, and fatigue.
As an Occupational Therapist and working mom of three young children, I understand the challenges of balancing normal daily demands with unexpected medical or life stressors and the importance of enjoyable and gratifying experiences in working towards wellness.
Update on Treatment Services
covid-19
The well-being of my clients is of the utmost importance to me. During the COVID-19 pandemic, treatment services are provided through telehealth. I am following guidelines for telepractice set by the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario. Telehealth is offered by telephone or through my secure PHIPA and PIPEDA compliant video platform.
