Chad Barkhouse – OT Reg (PEI), MSc. OT, BSc. K

I am a registered Occupational Therapist with over 10 years of occupational therapy experience focusing in pediatrics in school, private clinic, and hospital-based settings. I obtained both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at Dalhousie University in Kinesiology and Occupational Therapy respectively. I am registered with the Prince Edward Island College of Occupational Therapists, and an active member of the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists.

Through my career, I have been fortunate to live, work, and play across North America as I combined my passions for OT, adventure, living a meaningful life and learning about other cultures. In practice, I believe in providing a strength-based approach collaborating with clients to engage in occupations that are meaningful that they feel are important to them. When not working, I enjoy being out in nature, camping, hiking, and biking and being an active member in the communities to which I live.

Occupational Therapy is where science, creativity, and compassion collide. Occupational Therapy turns hopeless into hope, Can’t into can, and impossible into possible.

Anyone of us recognizes times in our lives that we feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected or not seen for who we are or want to be. Therapy can help us recognize our strengths through making space for our feelings, thoughts, experiences, and bringing valuable elements of ourselves that are valuable to us, back to the surface.

The therapeutic process is a professional relationship that can help you connect with your unique nourishing toolbox of coping skills that supports and maintains your wellness. My goals as a therapist are to hold a reserved space just for you, to hold the heaviness of emotional experiences and to explore the stuck places in life. Together, we focus on unique ways to connecting people with their own stories, healing and growth.
