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, you can find me traveling, spending time with family and friends, running, serving on mission trips both locally and abroad, watching sports, and building relationships with others.
