Meet
Jessie Alexander, OTR/L, DRS

Hi! I'm Jessie and I'm the owner and occupational therapist behind Adaptive Independence Missoula.

A picture of Jessie standing in front of green leaves.

I believe people are complex and intricate and deserve to be treated holistically. Most of all, I believe people are experts when it comes to their own health and bodies!

I am passionate about providing my clients high-quality, individualized, and empathetic occupational therapy services that prioritize their goals and lived experience.

I have been an occupational therapist for seven years, and I absolutely love what I do! I find it so gratifying to partner with a client, to problem solve through their unique situation, and to help them progress to a more independent, healthy, and happy life. I have worked in a variety of settings throughout my career including acute care hospitals, rehabilitation hospitals, home health, and in community settings. Ultimately I am so pleased to be operating my private practice here in Missoula.

My clinical expertise is in adult and older adult physical rehabilitation involving neurological conditions, diabetes management, orthopedics, amputation management, and adaptive and creative self-care training. Most recently, I completed 60+ hours of advanced continuing education to become a Driving Rehabilitation Specialist.

I firmly believe that occupation (click here to learn more!) is fundamental to the human experience. And that participation in valued occupations is both the means to achieving health and the final end goal of therapeutic intervention. I would be honored to partner with you in your health journey towards a happier and more independent life.

Let's get you back to doing the things you need and want to do, with the people that mean the most to you, and in the communities you care the most about!
