Tara has partnered with St. Andrew’s preschool in numerous ways. She has come alongside the teachers by meeting with them individually and as a group. She gives us tools to help assist our preschoolers that might struggle with different developmental needs. Tara has spent countless hours working with our teachers and students. We are very blessed to have Tara share all her knowledge with us.

As a general pediatrician, I am incredibly grateful to have Tara Mackenzie as a resource for referral for my patients. From fine motor/gross motor delay to behavioral/emotional control issues, Tara is a gifted therapist with significant experience in many different aspects of occupational therapy and behavioral management. I have seen so many success stories through the patients I’ve referred and this community is lucky to have her as a resource.

Our son is bright but has a lot of inconsistencies which is very frustrating and troubling for him. Focusing, starting & completing tasks & transitioning are very difficult for him. Tara was referred to us by our son’s Pre-K teacher and our son just fell in love with Tara from day one. Tara is extremely knowledgeable, patient and is always willing to try something new or different, in order to get my son to engage and continue advancing. She is also very helpful in giving suggestions for home activities to support the hard work they do during sessions. After working with Miss Tara, we have seen a huge jump in our son’s self-confidence & ability to follow through with directions and assignments. Tara’s dedication and care for all the children she treats is what makes her truly special and we are so happy to get the chance to work with her on a weekly basis.
