About Alexa Howell

Hi, I am an Occupational Therapist at South Shore Therapies. I am passionate about creating lasting and meaningful change for the children and families that I work with. As a mom of young kids, I hope to bridge the space between the work that happens in the clinic-based session with the activities and expectations that make sense at home. Our mission with SST's social media platform is to empower, educate and inspire families to take on life’s challenges while promoting an optimistic outlook and a brighter future.
