Occupational, Physical, & Speech Therapy

Hi I'm Betsy! I received my Masters of Occupational Therapy (MOT) from Texas Woman's University (TWU). I have 25 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.  

Hello! My name is Daisy Castro, I am a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. My interest in occupational therapy began here at BCM Innovative Therapies when I worked as a tech during my senior year of high school. I fell in love with this practice and decided to purse a career in it. I enjoy working with children and love seeing them progress towards their goals. I can’t wait to work with your child and demonstrate the power of occupational therapy! 

Hannah Meeker joined the Innovative Therapies family as a COTA after completing her Level II Fieldwork with us and obtaining her license. Hannah is a favorite therapist to all of her clients, as she is so soft spoken, kind, and works to calm anxieties when working with children with diagnosis of autism and sensory processing disorders. She brings so much to our therapy team with her skills and mannerism, displaying a true love for the children. She is a reader and enjoys crafting.  

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.

 Hi I’m Kenzie! I graduated with my bachelor’s degree in communication sciences and disorders from the University of Texas at Tyler. I have 2 years of experience working as a SLPA and am currently pursuing my masters degree to become a SLP. I am thankful I can say that I love what I do and can’t imagine myself doing anything else. I chose to be a speech therapist because I love working with kids and have always wanted to have a career focused on helping people. My main goal every day is to make therapy sessions fun and enjoyable for every child!
