I’m Mickenzie Brownlow, OTR, and I joined Monkey Mouths in 2022 as an occupational therapist. I earned my bachelor’s degree from Texas Tech University and my master’s degree from Texas Tech University Health Science Center. I completed my fieldwork in a pediatric outpatient facility.

As an occupational therapist, I am passionate about providing fun, individualized, client-centered care to enhance the lives of children and their families. I believe every child has a unique purpose and God-given talent and it is my goal to equip children with the abilities and resources to live life to the fullest, despite any diagnosis. My treatment approach includes cultivating a positive and encouraging environment where children grow in confidence and independence as they discover who they are and all they were created to be.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband traveling, hiking, and cheering on the Texas Tech Red Raiders. I love antique shopping, baking, gardening and spending time at local farmers markets.
