Meet Cindy Zhang, MS, OT
Occupational Therapist
Hi, I’m Cindy Zhang! I hold a Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from San Jose State University and a background in Human Development and Psychology from UC Davis. My passion for working with children began early—starting as a camp leader at 14—and has grown through diverse experiences as a preschool teacher’s aide, YMCA Program Leader, behavioral therapy technician, research assistant, and Resource Learning Specialist.
I love working with neurodiverse populations and take joy in helping individuals discover and build upon their unique strengths. My approach is playful, engaging, and interest-based, ensuring that therapy feels both meaningful and fun.
Meet Maggie Lung, SPT
Administrative Assistant
Maggie is currently a student at Columbia University Doctor of Physical Therapy Program. Maggie spent most of her life in Los Angeles, CA and went to University of California, Irvine for her bachelor’s degree. Maggie is now working part time as an administrative assistant at Oak Bloom OT and hope to make all clients welcomed in all possible ways.
OT Interns and Volunteers
Oak Bloom OT works with graduate-level interns in their final months of study pre-licensure. At the beginning of an intern’s rotation, we establish rapport with clients and learn about their therapeutic needs. After the first few weeks, the intern takes on more responsibilities, including some treatment when they demonstrate clinical competency. Per the California Board of Occupational Therapy guidelines, the occupational therapist is close by and collaborates on all treatment planning.
Oak Bloom OT also welcomes and works with volunteers and requires a 100 hour minimum at the facility. Please contact admin@oakbloomot.com for more information.
Our Facility
Located in the convenient Grand Lake District, Oak Bloom OT has two treatment rooms and a waiting room. Both rooms have suspended swings. One room is the primary motor room with lots of gross motor equipment. We have dubbed that the "sunshine room". The other treatment room, the "galaxy room" is more subdued fine motor room.
We are up on the second floor (without an elevator). We have many learning toys and materials for inspiring creativity, the environment helps create the just-right challenge for building skills and regulating the body and brain.
Occasionally, we will take clients to the park or a local trail to work on building well-rounded skills.
