Cathy Richard, OTR Lead Occupational Therapist
Cathy was born and raised in Spring, Texas. Before Cathy came to Kingwood Speech Therapy Services, she had worked with adults and children in a variety of settings as a Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant since 2008. However, in wanting to pursue advanced certifications and wanting to help more people, Cathy decided to return to school to obtain her Master of Occupational Therapy degree she always yearned for. While working full time, Cathy attended Texas Woman’s University where she completed her undergraduate Bachelor of Applied Sciences degree in 2015 and her Master of Occupational Therapy degree in 2018. During this time, Cathy took the opportunity to complete a fieldwork rotation in a pediatric outpatient clinic and fell in love with opportunity to help change the lives of both the children and their families. Cathy has a passion for sensory integration and is currently certified in the application of Ayre's Sensory Integration Theory with children with sensory processing difficulties. Cathy also has been trained in Sequential Oral Sensory Approach to Feeding and is working towards her certification in that as well so that she may continue provided evidence-based feeding therapy for children with feeding difficulties
Cathy grew up playing a variety of sports but eventually chose soccer as her sport of choice. During this time, spending ample amounts of time in personal training gyms, athletic offices, and learning about how the body works, she discovered a career in the medical health field is something she would enjoy. She chose a career in occupational therapy so that she was able to meet and help others in a way that could help change the lives of not only the individuals she treats, but their families as well.
Cathy and her husband currently reside in Humble and make frequent trips back to her husband’s hometown of Crowley, Louisiana to visit family and friends. In their free time, outside of travelling back and forth between Texas and Louisiana, they enjoy attending USA soccer sporting events, traveling to new places every year on vacation, going to comedy shows, and hosting family and friends at get togethers at their house.
Alexa Grasty COTA, Occupational Therapist
Alexa is our newest edition to the Kingwood Speech team and has lived in the Porter/ Kingwood area her entire life. She recently graduated from Lone Star College Kingwood with an Associates of Applied Science and received her certification and license as COTA.
As a teenager, Alexa witnessed tragedy after a fellow student was involved in a major car accident. While talking with friends and discussing all of the different therapies and procedures this person would have to endure, she stumbled upon Occupational therapy. Once learning about the profession and the people that it can help, she knew that was her niche in life.
Outside of the clinic, Alexa is a wife and a mother to a beautiful daughter and a sweet dog named Gambino. She loves spending time with her family, whether that be camping, swimming, or just snuggled up on the couch watching a movie or a good show.
