Meet the People Behind NYT-OT
Mehrnoosh Zamani
(Nooshi)
Founder & Clinical Director | Registered Pediatric Occupational Therapist
Mehrnoosh “Nooshi” Zamani is the Founder and Clinical Director of NYT-OT, bringing more than 19 years of occupational therapy experience to her work with children and families.
Her practice looks at the whole child—supporting sensory and emotional regulation, motor planning, executive functioning, play, handwriting, feeding, toileting, school participation, and everyday independence. Her approach is neurodiversity-affirming, relationship-based, and grounded in creating practical strategies that work beyond the therapy room.
Nooshi believes meaningful progress begins with understanding the child, building trust, and working closely with families to create goals that truly matter in everyday life.
