Why CTI?...
We are hardworking innovators with a positive and energetic approach to therapy and change:
Occupational Therapists
Catalyst Therapy, Inc. (CTI) is primarily an occupational therapy clinic in Encinitas, CA that specializes in sensory integration evaluation and treatment, with an emphasis on pediatric occupational therapy.
Our occupational therapists use meaningful and purposeful activity to help children and their families “Live Life to the Fullest!”
We treat children who have been identified with special needs and disabilities as well as those who may not have yet been formally identified but are looking to maximize the potential of their children and/or themselves.
CTI provides an innovative, eclectic, and holistic approach to therapy. By forming a partnership with our clients, we aim to spark the energy and commitment within the individual and/or family that is imperative to enact lasting change. Our goal is to facilitate a child’s full potential.
We utilize the latest in research and evidenced-based practice to provide our clients with the most comprehensive evaluation and treatment. We aim to facilitate the full developmental potential of children by offering the highest quality services possible.
We are family oriented and believe that parents, caregivers and extended family are an integral part of the therapy process. It is our goal to specifically train parents, caregivers and family members so that they can be empowered to affect positive change toward their child’s progress.
