Kendra Barlotta, MS, OTR/L, CHT

Kendra is a dedicated and passionate Occupational Therapist and Certified Hand Therapist (CHT) with a deep commitment to restoring function, relieving pain, and improving quality of life. Kendra pursued an advanced certification to become a CHT—an achievement that reflects her dedication to specialize in a variety of complex upper extremity conditions, from post-surgical rehab to nerve injuries, repetitive strain, and trauma recovery. As the Clinical Coordinator of the Hand Team, Kendra seeks to promote clinical excellence in others through organizing continuing education courses, mentoring students, teaching workshops, and inspiring fellow clinicians to grow in skill, confidence, and knowledge. Her practice includes custom upper extremity splint fabrication, fitting, and training for the upper extremity. 

Kendra earned her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from New York University, where she served as a member of the National Scholastic Honor Society for Occupational Therapy. She graduated Summa Cum Laude with her Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from East Stroudsburg University. During her studies, Kendra played softball competitively, where she earned several Scholar-Athlete awards. 

For Kendra, therapy is more than treatment—it’s the joy of equipping her clients with the tools, knowledge, and confidence to support them through some of their most challenging moments. Whether it’s helping someone return to work, the gym, or sport, play a favorite instrument again, care for a loved one, or create art, Kendra is grateful to be part of everyone’s journey. She believes every splint, every exercise, every conversation is an opportunity to help someone rebuild their life again. 

During her free time, Kendra enjoys staying active through a variety of sports as well as running, traveling, cooking, skiing, and the beach.
