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.  

  Hello! My name is Teleia Braziel, and I am a COTA here at BCM. I am from Corsicana and graduated from CHS in 2016. My parents are both still residing in Corsicana and my younger sister is following in my footsteps. I am a dog mom and love my fur babies as if they are my real children. I graduated last year from Navarro and while studying to take my national board exam, I was working here as an OT tech gaining loads of experience and knowledge that I can now use while working with everyone here. I chose Occupational Therapy because I love to help people, but my heart is naturally drawn to children. I love being able to see their progress even if it's the slightest bit of difference.   

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!

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.
