Hello
I'm Jennifer Urich, owner of East Valley Feeding Therapy, LLC and a licensed occupational therapist. I am a mother of three grown children and one spoiled pup. I grew up in Oregon but have called Arizona home for over 25 years - long enough to have raised all threee of my children here and to know the East Valley community well. I received my bachelor's degree in psychology from Arizona State University and later pursued my master's in occupational therapy from A.T. Still University. I've spent over 30 years working with children, and more than a decade of that as a feeding specialist on multidisciplinary teams at Phoenix Children's Hospital. Over the years I've developed feeding groups and specialized programs at clinics across the Valley, and I've seen first hand how much more progress children make when therapy happens in their own home — at their own table, with their own family around them. That's what led me to focus on in-home therapy. I have seen the magic that therapy can bring to a family struggling with a child who won't eat or refuses to eat foods that provide needed nutrition. I love what I do and I cherish every child that I have had the privilege of sitting at the table with.
