We have flown across the country to meet with the very best pediatric therapists we could find. So we considered ourselves very lucky to find this truly first rate OT practice so close by. We originally chose TIA because its founder, Mary Jane, worked directly with Jean Ayres, considered the founder of Sensory Integration. Now TIA has truly become a happy place for our family - both for OT and for camp. Our children are growing, acquiring important new skills, and having the best time. Our son has developed a close and special bond with his therapist Jenny, who is not only very skilled at her job but also genuinely cares. We feel we're in the best hands here and highly recommend. Not incentivized to write this in any way, just spreading the word to other families looking for a wonderful OT. read more

My child ("LO") has been coming to Therapy in Action for about 6 months for feeding therapy OT. It is a God send. Having a child who is extremely picky is very, very challenging. We've been on this journey for years. Our pediatrician and two specialists recommended TiA. We had tried feeding therapy through other clinics over the years with very little progress. They mostly focused on food play and comfort sitting at the table near food. Great, but not enough for our situation. I love TiA's unique approach. The assessment is very thorough and comprehensive. They examined LO's eating mechanics and habits, oral anatomy and skills, speech, and physical strength (even though our "diagnosis" is just about poor appetite). They look at the whole child. We come weekly for an hour. LO loves coming here. The first half of the session is "heavy work" in the gym. LO is running, climbing, flipping, jumping to LO's delight. Then, it's time to go for a "snack" in the kitchen. There is no power struggle. It feels normal and nature to eat something after all of that activity. Ms Sivan (and Ms Jenny, Ms Paula, Ms Gabby) has such an easy, chill aura. No pressure to eat. No lecturing. No nagging. LO spends the time just talking casually about the food, playing a game at the table, helping to prep the meal, etc. I have seen LO try things at TiA that have failed miserably as home. I learn something every single session that I try to apply at home. I am so grateful to Ms Sivan for giving me hope for the first time in years. Feeding struggles suck. They are really, really hard. TiA is the best!! read more

We have been going to Therapy in Action for about 4 months and our experience has been really incredible so far. The staff is amazing, the facilities can't be beat and my child who was very reluctant to go to OT in the past is loving it! read more

When we first sought to get occupational therapy for my guy, I was overwhelmed. I was afraid it would lead nowhere and it'd be boring and tedious and my son would have to learn to deal with his issues forever. Well, enter Sivan. Sivan is an angel who walks the earth in OT form, because she is genuinely so good at what she does, not just because of the tasks she does- but because of how she CONNECTS with him. My son lights up in her presence and just feels absolutely free to be himself. Also, in feeling absolutely free, dare I say...rambunctious? However, Sivan has this insane control over him, where he still gets to be silly & wild & get his therapy in. In only a matter of months, we have seen improvement in his performance of tasks such as toothbrushing, showering independently & core control. He's our master grocery cart pusher! As you can imagine, when we determined that our youngest son also needed therapy for a different issue, we pleaded for Therapy in Action. But as you can imagine, two therapies for two different children can be...a lot to fit into the week. However...Jill. Jill set everything up, understanding from her own mothering point of view how much more committed we could be if they went at the same time...and that's exactly what she did for us. Then, we met Jenny. The fact that this place has struck gold TWICE is crazy. Jenny is patient, kind & tender toward my littlest guy during his work with her helps put my mind at ease that my sons are getting the best possible aid that will help them develop into functional people. She has gotten him to try foods that I never even attempted to buy again, because of our food waste. Listen, though, because we have also met Gabby...and whew, TIA, your hiring person needs to play the lottery because they just know how to pick them. It is so obvious they all love and enjoy what they do & the difference they make, because it shines through in the quality of their interactions with each and every child & each and every session. They are fantastic and I could not recommend them more highly! read more

The whole organization is so intentional, organized, and thorough. From intake with administration to therapy session, we felt connected, and well taken care of. Our occupational therapist, Jenny evaluated our daughter for some problematic behavior. We were at out wits end. She helped us understand some of her needs we didn't know how to identify and prepared us to meet those needs. Now we can plan ahead and supper her nervous system. read more

Love Therapy in Action! We've been seeing Jenny for my son's OT services and she is the most wonderful therapist we've ever seen. My son adores her and we're so happy to finally have a consistent, clean, and positive OT environment. :) read more

I highly recommend Jenny Fatal, my child's occupational therapist (OT) at Therapy in Action in Tarzana. Jenny is an incredibly skilled and compassionate OT who specializes in sensory needs, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, handwriting support, and developmental delays. She connects with children in such a warm, patient, and effective way that therapy feels fun and truly supportive. Since starting OT with Jenny, my child has shown amazing progress in confidence, motor skills, self-regulation, and everyday independence. Jenny always communicates clearly with parents, provides practical tips to use at home, and genuinely cares about each child's success. Therapy in Action is conveniently located in Tarzana, offers a welcoming environment, and accepts all major insurances, which makes getting high-quality pediatric OT both accessible and stress-free. If you're looking for a pediatric occupational therapist who is professional, experienced, and truly dedicated to helping children thrive, Jenny is the best choice. We are so grateful for her. read more

Therapy in Action has helped my son so much. I will forever be grateful. I have seen a huge increase in his emotional regulation, managing his feelings, feeling safe in his own skin, confidence and capacity to tolerate frustration. The therapists are superb. I trust them. read more

Five stars for Therapy in Action! Mary Jane, Jenny, Jacqui and staff are all highly skilled, experienced and knowledgeable in what they do. We have been coming here for handwriting help and wish we had started sooner! Overall, the staff is great and the facility is also fantastic with a fully equipped gym. read more

Very rude lady. Don't ever go here. I called for an LAUSD evaluation and the person who answered was extremely rude GO to Kids Therapy ion Ventura instead!! read more

We've been receiving OT services for a few months now for our son who is 5. I couldn't rave more about how wonderful Paula is. She's patient and kind with our son. Every week when we see her for the rest of the day our son is calm and regulated. Highly recommend read more

Very rude customer service. I called to ask if my daughter can be evaluated since the Los Angeles school district LAUSD recommended this place. I was very polite and ask if they have any availability, the lady on the phone told me that NO THAT THE DISTRICT SENDS A LOT OF THOSE LETTERS AND THEY CANNOT ACCOMMODATE ANY OF THOSE PATIENTS she said it with a rude tone. I bet if I call back and say I'll be using my private insurance or that I will be paying with my own money I would be treated much differently, it's not my fault that the school district wants to pay for my daughters evaluation just because we are recommend by LAUSD doesn't mean we don't have the means to be able to pay for evals or that we are so poor that we deserve to be treated that way. Do better read more

I've called this office several times in the past week. No one answers. It's ridiculous how there is no machine and no way for you to speak to someone directly. I don't see an email to email them either. Very disappointed. I need help and unable to receive it. read more

My son has been seen therapist Jessie for at least 3 years. She is great with kids, the best! She makes the class fun while focusing on our son's main goals. Our son only has great thing to say about Jessie. Thank you Jessie for every thing you do. read more

I honestly don't know where we would have been without Cheryl and all her support. My daughter is at home at TIA and doesn't ever want her time with them to end. They have not only taught my daughter how to cope, but helped my husband and I learn throughout the process even more. Thank you thank you. read more
