Howdy! Before becoming affectionately known as “Doc Meathead”, (no one really calls me that) I was just a simple Meathead who had a very successful career in the health and fitness industry. I’ve been helping folks achieve health and fitness goals for nearly 10 years now. I helped multiple clients achieve and sustain weight loss of more than 50lbs, and many of the young athletes I worked with went on to participate in collegiate sports.

It would be remiss of me not to bring that skill base into my work and services as a doctor of occupational therapy here at Uplift. Occupational therapists have the ideal skill set to work in health management; not only do we have a deep knowledge of physiological function, we also have excellent understanding of how to structure habits, routines, and the environment around our clients to support health and wellness.

In the coming weeks I’ll be creating and sharing some video deep(ish) dives into the different aspects of The Blueprint, my guide to excellent health! If you think you could benefit from health management services at Uplift, including weight management, developing sustainable fitness routines, pain management, and more, reach out!

I (Jed) realized that in all my marketing and posting for Uplift, I haven’t really explained the services that were the original idea for the whole clinic!

Long story extremely short, I had a terrible substance abuse problem for a number of years. When I went sober, I replaced the previous lifestyle with a new lifestyle centered around health and fitness. BOOM. The idea for Uplift was born. I found the field of Occupational Therapy, realized it was the exact field I needed to be in to realize this dream, messed around and now I’m a Doctor of Occupational Therapy.

Occupational Therapy services for substance abuse include identifying the impact use has on daily living, examining and changing daily habits and routines to support sober recovery, replacement of substance use with healthy, meaningful activity, as well as short and long term goal setting to achieve sobriety goals.

At Uplift, we do all of that with a big focus on replacing the previous habits with new healthy ones.

If you or a loved one struggle with substance abuse, please reach out for information about services. Uplift can and will help!

✨SERVICES FOR ADULTS/OLDER ADOLESCENTS✨

With mental health diagnoses, occupational therapy will include the development of skills, healthy habits and routines, coping strategies, cognitive behavioral strategies, and attention to physiological influences.

For adults and older adolescents, some aspects of treatment we can focus on at Uplift are vocational pursuits and community integration. We can assist clients in identifying interests and skills that will fit well with jobs they would enjoy. We can also support clients once they have obtained employment and provide additional skill development or environmental adaption as needed. The clinic is located near several large retailers and many other businesses as well, which gives great opportunities for getting out into the community if needed!

*ADHD TREATMENT AT UPLIFT*

At Uplift we focus on the impacts that ADHD has on daily function. Treatment centers on strategies to improve focus, adapting to different environments or scenarios, and learning techniques to organize and structure daily tasks.

Physical activity, specifically moderate to intense exercise, has been shown to be very beneficial in managing symptoms of ADHD in children and adolescents (PMID: 28917364). When appropriate, we can incorporate exercise or fast paced games into the beginning of a session. This allows the participants to focus better during the rest of the session when we work on those strategies for daily function.

*OCCUPATIONAL THERAPISTS AND MENTAL HEALTH THERAPISTS UNITE*

Uplift, and the occupational therapy services we provide here, are not meant to replace mental health treatment from a mental health therapist (LPC, LCSW, etc). In fact, the best case scenario is for our clients to also see a mental health therapist because we work REALLY WELL as a treatment team and compliment each other’s strengths.

An occupational therapist (Uplift) hones in on the behaviors, routines, habits, and physiological impact a diagnosis has on an individual. A mental health therapist will help the individual with emotional processing side of things and do more talk or play based work while also working on behaviors and daily function. These aren’t hard lines, more of an overly simplified explanation.

There is a big overlap. Which is why best case scenario we get to work with someone who also sees a counselor. It provides a more comprehensive treatment experience for a client and there’s less chance of something contributing to dysfunction being missed.

At Uplift specifically, the vibe and atmosphere allows a client who might be uncomfortable in a traditional mental health setting to creatively or physically express themselves while working on tangible skills. Over time, they will open up to being ready for more of the emotional side of things, at which point we would refer them to a trusted mental health therapist!

If you work in mental health, reach out to us and we can talk about how our services can compliment yours!

*MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT AT UPLIFT*

Occupational therapists use activity-based treatment to achieve success with clients in essentially all walks of life. With mental health diagnoses, occupational therapy will include the development of skills, healthy habits and routines, coping strategies, cognitive behavioral strategies, and attention to physiological influences such as sensory needs.

Basically, if a diagnosis interferes with anything on the list of “occupations” in this picture, then occupational therapy can help!

We’ve had a lot of questions about Uplift, the gym/fitness aspect, etc… When appropriate, we will incorporate exercise and health/wellness strategies into our treatment. For some folks that might not be what’s needed and that’s okay! The gym is also a big “vibe” aspect of our facility. Some folks aren’t comfortable with traditional mental health treatment settings; Uplift provides a different atmosphere that might be more appealing or less intimidating to those people!

If you have questions, reach out, and if you think Uplift would be a good fit for you or someone you know, holler at us!

BIG NEWS this week at the national level for Occupational Therapy in mental health!

During my doctoral research project, I conducted a needs assessment of mental health treatment facilities in Natrona County and an overwhelming response both in the assessment and follow up communication with local professionals in the field was that there is a massive need for outpatient mental health OT. There are OT services in many inpatient/acute mental health settings, but patients express disappointment that they don’t have access to these services upon discharge. This bill will help to increase access to these much needed services.
