✨ Meet the SPOT ✨
Meet Gracen Durden, one of our amazing Occupational Therapists!
Gracen’s journey with The SPOT started back in 2016 when she volunteered at our summer day camp as a junior in high school looking for service hours. That experience sparked her love for occupational therapy, and now she has come full circle serving the same community where it all began.
She earned her Bachelor’s in Human Development and Family Science from the University of Georgia and went on to complete her Master of Health Science in Occupational Therapy at Augusta University.
Gracen loves helping kids build confidence and independence. One of her favorite parts of the job is seeing the excitement on a child’s face when they master a new skill. She also enjoys working with primitive reflex integration and has been learning even more about it recently.
Outside of the clinic, Gracen enjoys all things DIY. You can usually find her painting, crafting, or flipping furniture. She also loves exploring antique stores and spending time near the lake.
Gracen was born and raised in Statesboro, where she now lives with her husband BJ, whom she married in 2025, and their chocolate lab Cooper.
We’re so grateful she’s part of The SPOT team and serving the community she grew up in! 💛
