Trauma-Informed Occupational Therapy & Psycho-Rehabilitation
Occupational Therapy at Rowan House functions as the applied rehabilitation framework supporting all core pillars of care. Services integrate the Structured Recovery Program (SPR), CBT and CBH psychotherapy, trauma-informed nervous system regulation, and community reintegration planning.
Treatment is focused on measurable functional outcomes — restoring occupational performance, emotional regulation, behavioural stability, and role participation across home, work, and community environments.
Care is delivered through individual sessions, structured online group programming, and scalable virtual rehabilitation modules.
Rowan House delivers trauma-informed Occupational Therapy integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy (CBH), and graded exposure strategies within a structured rehabilitation framework.
Treatment focuses on restoring emotional regulation, cognitive flexibility, work readiness, and meaningful participation in daily life.
Our approach bridges psychological therapy and functional rehabilitation by translating insight into measurable behavioural change.
We address:
• Trauma and nervous system dysregulation
• Anxiety, avoidance patterns, and stress responses
• Cognitive distortions and behavioural loops
• Executive functioning and routine development
• Return-to-work planning and graded re-exposure
• Functional capacity and performance restoration
Sessions are structured, goal-oriented, and outcome measurable. Documentation and reporting can be provided for insurers including WCB and Veterans Affairs where required.
How Occupational Therapy Integrates the Core 4 Pillars
1. Structured Recovery Program (SPR)
Occupational therapy operationalizes the SPR model by translating therapeutic insight into graded behavioural action plans, exposure-based task progression, and structured performance goals.
2. CBT & CBH Psychotherapy
Cognitive and behavioural interventions are embedded into occupational performance retraining, supporting thought restructuring, emotional regulation, and behavioural accountability.
3. Trauma & Nervous System Regulation
OT supports stabilization through nervous system-informed pacing, graded exposure, sensory regulation strategies, and functional stress tolerance training.
4. Community & Support Integration
Intervention extends beyond symptom reduction to restore role identity, daily structure, social participation, and meaningful occupational engagement within the community.
CBT & CBH Psychotherapy
Cognitive and behavioural interventions are embedded into occupational performance retraining, supporting thought restructuring, emotional regulation, behavioural accountability, and skills generalization into real-world environments.
Trauma & Nervous System Regulation
OT integrates trauma-informed pacing, graded exposure, sensory regulation strategies, and stress tolerance training to improve nervous system stability and reduce avoidance-driven impairment.
Community & Online Structured Recovery Support
Rehabilitation extends beyond symptom reduction to restore role identity, daily structure, social participation, and meaningful occupational engagement through community-based and virtual program delivery.
