Therapy for real life
Progress matters most when it changes everyday life.
Atlas Living is rooted in a core principle of occupational therapy: meaningful participation in everyday life can support health, adaptation, and well-being. We consider the whole person—mind, body, environment, relationships, routines, roles, and the activities that give life meaning—and build practical strategies around what matters most.
What we can help you navigate
Occupational therapy built around real life.
Our services are grounded in occupational therapy and its holistic, client-centered view of health, function, participation, adaptation, and meaningful everyday life.

Orthopedic & Upper-Extremity Recovery

School & Learning Participation
OT support that considers the functional demands of learning, school routines, and participation in educational environments.
Caregiver & Family Guidance

Health & Metabolic Services
An expanded range of telehealth options designed to complement Atlas Living’s whole-person, occupation-centered approach to health and everyday life.
Atlas Living is expanding access to health and metabolic services while remaining grounded in occupational therapy’s whole-person perspective—recognizing the connection between mind, body, environment, routines, roles, and daily life.
Medical evaluation, eligibility, prescribing, and medication management are provided by appropriately licensed practitioners. Available services and treatment options are determined by individual clinical needs and may vary by state. Nutrition-focused occupational therapy does not replace medical nutrition therapy when that service is clinically indicated.
Because health isn’t separate from everyday life. It’s shaped by it.
Care designed around your world
Why virtual OT?
Your home is where many everyday routines actually happen. Virtual care lets occupational therapy connect directly with the environment, tasks, and habits you want to improve.

AtlasAI
Because everyone learns differently.
AtlasAI is a learning tool designed to create more personalized learning experiences built around the individual.
Most educational technology focuses on personalizing what someone learns. AtlasAI personalizes how they learn—adapting how information is structured, practiced, reinforced, and reviewed to better support each learner.
The goal is simple: help people learn in ways that work better for them.
Personalizing not just what we learn, but how we learn.
AtlasAI is currently in research and development and is explicitly non-diagnostic.
Where we serve
Occupational therapy, wherever life happens.
Atlas Living currently serves eligible clients physically located in New York, Illinois, Florida, and Washington at the time of the telehealth visit. Eligibility is confirmed before care begins.
Frequently asked questions
Before your first visit
What is occupational therapy?
Occupational therapy helps people participate more fully in the activities and routines that make up everyday life. Treatment is individualized around functional goals.
How does virtual occupational therapy work?
Visits take place by secure video. Depending on your needs, sessions may include evaluation, guided activities, functional problem-solving, education, home-program strategies, and caregiver or family collaboration.
Do I need special equipment?
Usually not. If specific materials would be useful for your visit, you will be told in advance. One advantage of virtual OT is the ability to work with items and environments already part of your daily life.
What are the whole-health and metabolic services?
Coming soon, these services expand Atlas Living’s occupational therapy approach to include nutrition-related occupations and metabolic health, alongside access to laboratory testing and clinician-directed treatment options. Medical eligibility and prescribing decisions are made by appropriately licensed practitioners.
Does Atlas Living prescribe GLP-1 medications?
Coming soon, Atlas Living will offer expanded metabolic health services alongside its occupational therapy services. Medical evaluation, eligibility, prescribing, and medication management for GLP-1 medications are provided by appropriately licensed practitioners.
Do you accept insurance?
Coverage and payment options may vary. Contact Atlas Living before scheduling so current payment and reimbursement options can be confirmed.
