At the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, our acute psychiatry and outpatient community psychiatry programs offer innovative occupational therapy to meet mental health and sensory processing needs of people of all ages.

Our mental health occupational therapists help our patients through self-empowerment, education to make self-improvements and encouraging personal responsibility. They're trained to use specialized evaluations, such as The Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS), to assess baseline functioning or any changes that may have occurred due to illnesses or maladaptive behaviors. Our occupational therapists are all nationally board-certified and licensed in the state of Maryland and many have advanced degrees in diverse areas of interest.
