Meet the Owner of Amazing Kidz Therapy
Kathleen Pici, OTR/L
Miss Kat is a licensed occupational therapist with over 24 years of experience, including extensive work in adult care that informs her thoughtful and holistic approach to supporting children and their families. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy from Utica College of Syracuse University in 2002 and has dedicated her career to individualized and family-centered pediatric care.
A Lifelong Calling to Help Children
Kat’s path into occupational therapy began early. At just 13 years old, she shadowed a pediatric occupational therapist and immediately knew she had found her calling. She went on to volunteer in occupational therapy departments and work as an aide at a special needs school, building hands-on experience long before entering the profession.
After working across pediatric and adult therapy settings and holding senior leadership roles, Kat returned to pediatric care as her own family grew. In 2016, she founded Amazing Kidz Therapy, officially opening its doors in 2017 to provide children and families with care guided by experience, ethical decision-making, and a deep understanding of each child’s unique needs.
Kat believes that no diagnosis defines a child. Her approach focuses on the whole child—their strengths, routines, and family environment—so therapy supports meaningful progress at home, school, and play.
