Taylor Kirkbride
Occupational Therapist | Commercial Drive, Vancouver
Areas of Expertise: Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Mental Health, Return to Work, Ergonomic Assessment, Home Safety, Concussion Management
Programs: Concussion, Sleep, Anxiety, Depression
I aim to take a collaborative approach to support the people I work with to use practical, evidence-based tools, and build the skills and confidence they need to engage in the activities that help them to live a meaningful life.
I have experience in a variety of practice areas including mild traumatic brain injury, mental health, musculoskeletal injury, ergonomics, home health, chronic illness, and return to work after injury or illness. My practice has gradually shifted toward working with individuals with trauma-related conditions including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and various mental health challenges. My experience in mental health has informed my practice as a whole, as I've gained a strong appreciation for the important role mental health plays across all conditions. My goal is to bring empathy, curiosity, and authenticity to my work, with a strong focus on developing therapeutic rapport and fostering a supportive, collaborative environment to create meaningful change.
Outside of work, I am often planning my next trip, enjoying a leisurely walk & coffee, working on my amateur tennis skills or spending time with friends and family.
