Occupational Therapist - OTD, OTR/L

Taylor D’Alessandro, OTD, OTR/L

Prospect Heights - Barclays Center

I received my Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from the New York Institute of Technology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Iona College. During my undergraduate studies, I played Division I soccer and minored in neuroscience and biology, which sparked my interest in the connection between the brain, behavior, and rehabilitation. During my graduate studies in occupational therapy, I was a member of the Student Occupational Therapy Association and graduated as valedictorian of my class.

I have clinical experience in an outpatient hand therapy clinic, where I treated a variety of orthopedic and neurological upper extremity conditions. This experience deepened my passion for hand therapy and its direct impact on functional performance. I aspire to become a Certified Hand Therapist and continue expanding my skills through ongoing education. My clinical background also includes working in an outpatient pediatric sensory gym with children with developmental delays. During the final semester of my doctoral program, I completed my capstone project at Molloy University, focusing on supporting the performance and well-being of student-athletes. I am committed to delivering compassionate, empathetic, and evidence-based care.

Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through soccer, running, strength training, yoga, hiking, and other activities. I also have a strong passion for music, love attending concerts, and recently learned to play the guitar. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, discovering new hobbies, spending time with friends and family, and watching sunsets.
