Meet Yhali Gat, OTR/L

I am a licensed Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and the founder of NeeflaOT. Since 2013, I have been supporting families through diverse challenges both locally and internationally.

I don't believe in a "one size fits all" approach. I founded NeeflaOT to be a partner in your journey, helping you find the small, intentional shifts that lead to lasting impact.

My Clinical Philosophy

My clinical philosophy is active, not passive. I focus on three core principles to create sustainable, joyful progress for your whole family.

Neuro-Affirming Nervous System Care

I prioritize a felt sense of safety as the foundation for all growth. By integrating interoception and sensory processing, i help children and parents understand their own body signals to move from a state of survival to a state of connection.

Strength-Based Agency

Moving away from compliance-based therapy. Using a strength-based lens, i honor the child’s agency and unique processing style, building skills that respect who they are rather than trying to change who they are.

The Family Ecosystem

A child cannot thrive in isolation. I treat the family as a whole ecosystem, supporting parental executive functioning and mental load to ensure that the progress i make in therapy is sustainable and joyful in your daily life.

Clinical Specializations

Cog-Fun (Cognitive-Functional Approach) • Responsive Feeding • Interoception • Sensory Processing • Perinatal Mental Health • Trauma Informed Care
