Welcome to Hebbler Rehabilitation! I’m glad you are taking the time to learn more about occupational therapy, myself as a practitioner, and how I can help support you or your family. Occupational therapy (OT) is an allied health profession that supports an individual’s ability to function as independently as possible in their daily routines and activities. As an occupational therapist, I work with clients on achieving goals that are meaningful and support participation in daily activities. My treatment style is client-centered and strength-based. Using an integrative approach, OT sessions will focus on strengthening existing skills, improving areas of functional deficit, and promoting the client’s overall development with the goal of increasing independence and success in daily routines. I believe that each child (and teen) is unique, and a “standardized” approach doesn’t fit all. I provide individualized, client-centered care that encourages collaboration and participation by all to improve the child’s ability to participate in what is important and meaningful. On a personal note, I’m a born and raised Floridian- this is the farthest “north” I’ve called home! I married a Louisiana man and we decided St. Augustine is our forever home. We have two wonderful little girls who keep me on my toes, and a cat who demands I slow down to snuggle. I’m a foodie at heart, a live music lover, and a water woman- though you’re more likely to find me napping in the sun than on the water. I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a bachelors degree in Health Sciences. I then continued my education and received a master’s degree in Occupational Therapy as well as a doctoral degree in Physical Therapy at the University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences. I spent the first decade of my career practicing as an occupational therapist in skilled nursing and pediatric (early intervention, outpatient) settings, and I currently teach anatomy to the next generation of OT students at the University of St. Augustine. If you think we may be a good fit, please reach out to discuss how I can support you and your child. How long is each session? 50 minutes per treatment session (initial evaluation 60-90 minutes; re-evaluation 60 minutes) How do I schedule an appointment? All new clients must call (904-344-5210) or email (hebblerrehab@gmail.com) me to schedule an intake session. For new clients, once we speak and schedule the first session, you will receive an email with consent forms and intake questionnaires to complete prior to your appointment. These documents must be completed at least 24 hours prior to the start of the first session. If you are scheduling an appointment for your minor child, I will need to speak with the parent or legal guardian prior to the first session. ​ If you are the legal guardian of a child or have shared custody of a child, I am required to obtain legal guardianship and/or custody agreement documentation prior to the fist appointment. What is your session fee? Do you take insurance? My session rate is $165 per session. [See good faith estimate for further details] ​ I currently do not accept any insurance plans but I am a credentialed Early Steps provider & StepUp4Students Scholarship provider. ​ I am considered an "out of network" provider by your insurance company. Upon request, I can provide you with a diagnostic receipt of services (a Superbill) that you can submit to your insurance company. ​ The State of Florida does not require a doctor's order for occupational therapy to be provided. If plans are to submit to your insurance provider, please obtain an order from your doctor for "occupational therapy evaluation and treatment," and also discuss with your insurance provider to determine their policies regarding reimbursement as not all insurance providers do so. How do I pay for sessions? I accept cash, all major credit cards, checks, and HSA cards. I am an approved provider for Step Up for Students (FES-UA) scholarship recipients! What can OT help with? “Achieving health, well-being, and participation in life through engagement in occupation is the overarching statement that describes the domain and process of occupational therapy in its fullest sense.” (AOTA, 2014) ​ Translation: Think about everything you do from the time you wake up until you return to sleep; what things are difficult to do on your own? What things are affecting your ability to participate in what’s meaningful to you or your family? Common areas of treatment focus include: -Self-care skills (such as bathing/showering, dressing, personal hygiene, functional mobility, feeding, toileting, etc.) -Fine motor skills - Visual motor/visual perceptual skills - Gross motor skills - Handwriting - Balance & coordination - Sensory processing & self-regulation skills - Participation in leisure activities (play, hobbies, sports) - Support academic success (executive functioning, cognitive tasks, environmental modifications, etc.) What ages do you treat? ​ I enjoy working with all ages (newborns/infants, children, adolescents, caregivers). When working with children or teenagers, depending on treatment goals and needs, caregivers are typically very much involved in the therapeutic process. I'd be happy to discuss your goals for yourself and/or your child and if we are not a good fit, I can make a referral to another therapist who may be. How involved will I be in my child's therapy? Every child is different, so the level of involvement from parents & caregivers will look different from family to family. In my experience (highly supported by research), children progress faster when we- therapist, child & caregivers/parents- work together. ​ We will discuss, based on your child's needs, what level of involvement is most appropriate. At the minimum, I require all parents & caregivers to complete an update/progress form prior to each session. I also may suggest family sessions and/or individual sessions with caretakers to teach skills & techniques, provide additional support, and to address your concerns. How often will I come to therapy and for how long? Frequency is established during our initial evaluation based on the goals we will be working towards. Typically, we begin with 1-2x/week and adapt as needed to achieve treatment goals. ​ Therapy ends when treatment goals are achieved. Every individual is unique, and some children improve faster while others need more long-term support.

Welcome to Child Life and Loss Hi, I’m Danielle Eaves Hernandez, a Certified Child Life Specialist, Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist, Certified Grief Counselor and Certified Public Health Professional. My mission is to support the psychosocial needs of children, adults, and families through illness, loss, and life’s toughest moments. My approach blends validating feelings, building coping skills, and bringing a little sunshine, even on the heaviest days. I began private practice because I saw a gap in services for children, teens, families and adults of all ages experiencing challenging times. I believe in both individual sessions as well as family sessions to promote open conversation and healing together. Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLS) educate children and families through translating medical jargon, medical play, books, and hands-on science experiments to understand illness and medical conditions. Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS) provide adaptive leisure activities to persons with various abilities to promote fun, autonomy and socialization, and memory making. As a certified public health professional (CPH), I educate communities and schools, using developmentally appropriate language and play to make health and wellness topics interactive, enjoyable and meaningful. I also train medical providers on strategies to reduce medical anxiety, promote medication compliance, increase access to care, and facilitate support groups on various medical conditions and remembrance ceremonies. As a certified grief counselor (GC-C), I work with individuals of all ages through many kinds of loss. I’ve guided parents through the heartbreak of perinatal loss, supported families facing a life-limiting diagnosis, and walked alongside those navigating the long journey of chronic illness and those experiencing complicated grief. I’ve been there for children whose loved ones were in hospice, died suddenly, or experienced a tragic accident. I’ve worked with kids and young adults with neurotypical and neurodiverse conditions, physical challenges, and developmental differences from all over the world. Because grief takes many forms and surfaces at any time, I also support families mourning the loss of a beloved pet or the loss of normalcy after natural disasters. It is a privilege to walk such sacred ground with families who are missing a loved one. I learn from my clients on how to best support them, provide memory making activities, engage in life review to learn more about your person, and promote ways to continue your connection. Since 2008, I’ve worked with over 600 families at Community Hospice & Palliative Care, supporting them at home, in schools, and in clinics from the time of diagnosis to years after a death. .Alongside my private practice work, I’ve spoken locally, nationally, and internationally about the value of child life services, deployed for hurricanes and earthquakes with The American Red Cross & Child Life Disaster Relief, served on international mission trips and co-authored a hospice and palliative care chapter in The Role of Child Life Specialist in the Community. I believe all children and families deserve access to meaningful support through illness, trauma and loss. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me chasing my toddler and dachshunds, at the beach with my family, planning my next travel adventure, or cheering on the Florida Gators in the Swamp. I look forward to meeting you and am honored to be part of New Growth Counseling.
