Occupational, Physical, & Speech Therapy

Hi I'm Betsy! I received my Masters of Occupational Therapy (MOT) from Texas Woman's University (TWU). I have 21 years of experience in the field of occupational therapy.  I have a passion for helping children and families be able to participate in everyday activities especially in sensory processing, motor and cognitive development, developmental delay, social and emotional behaviors and feeding. I have many years experience working with adults and geriatric patients with a wide range of diagnosis. My goal is to provide the best care to help any patient to achieve their goals and have the best quality of life.  

 Hi, my name is Alicia. I’m 26 years old and I live in Cross Roads, TX with my husband and two aussie babies, Bentley and Copper.🐶🐶 Fun fact: I love all things cactus and succulents! 

I have been an Occupational Therapist for 2 years, working with pediatric and geriatric populations but pediatrics has my heart. I received my Bachelors Degree in Child Development from Texas Woman’s University in 2016 and received my Masters Degree in Occupational Therapy in 2018 from TWU also. 

I’m excited to be apart of the amazing team here at BCM Innovative Therapies and can’t wait to see you in the clinic.

Hi! I'm Ashley Smith, a 26 year old Corsicana local. I graduated from Navarro College in 2016 with my Associates in Applied Science and became a Certified Occupational Therapy assistant. I recently completed my Bachelors in Art and Applied science at The University of Texas at Tyler and look forward to whatever life has in store next! My clinical experience thus far includes 3+ years in geriatrics and almost 2 in pediatrics - which both hold a special place in my heart. My passion is to help increase the quality of life of others and build lasting, personal relationships with my patients. I am blessed to be a part of such a creative and caring interdisciplinary team here at B

 Hi! My name is Ashley Warren. I live in Wortham, TX with my husband Cooper and our 2 year old son, Mox! 

I love spending time with my family, gardening, and the occasional craft. 😊 

I have been a COTA for 4.5 years and have an autism certificate from IBCCES. I am currently working towards continuing my education in becoming a BCBA!  

I have a passion for all things sensory- I LOVE to help families better understand their children and meet their needs by making the lives of the family and child happier, healthier, and more fulfilling.

Hi! My name is Robin Harkins. From the time I was a junior in high school, I knew I wanted to become a Physical Therapist, specifically pediatrics. 34 years later, here I am.

I attended Southwest Texas State University (now Texas State) and recieved my Bachelor's in Physical Therapy in December 1986. I am also certified in Pediatric Neurodevelopmental Treatment. 

I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, hospitals, home health and outpatient clinics. 

I enjoy seeing children and families delight with the progress they make. I want them to feel they receive the same level of support and compassion as  a member of my own family would.

I enjoy traveling, doing crafts and watching movies.

 Hello! I am Carly Cates, a 22 year old who was born and raised right here in Corsicana, Texas. I went to Navarro College to get my prerequisites for a speech degree. From there I transferred to the University of Texas at Dallas to get my Bachelors in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology. I graduated from UTD in the summer of 2020 and shortly after took a job with CISD to be a SLP-Assistant. While working there a good friend lead me in the direction of working part-time at Innovative. I love working with each and every one of my speech kiddos, from 3 year-olds all the way to young adults. It is amazing/rewarding to be able to help them learn, work hard, and achieve their goals that they have in all of the different areas of speech. Some fun facts about me are: I will be getting married this year to my boyfriend (now fiancé) of 6 years, we have 2 dogs - a black lab named Mack and a dachshund named Marley. They keep us busy! I love to travel to new places, workout, eat good food, and watch my favorite shows when I'm feeling lazy 🤗 I am happy and blessed to be a part of the BCM Innovative team!
