Dr. Crystal Coffman

Dr. Crystal Coffman is originally from central Pennsylvania. She received her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University in 2006, then later completed her Post-Professional Doctorate in Occupational Therapy in 2019.

As an active-duty military spouse, she has served the pediatric community in a variety of capacities over the past 18 years. Highlights include launching an inaugural pediatric clinic for a nonprofit organization in Montgomery, Alabama — including a dedicated multi-disciplinary feeding clinic and a hippotherapy program — leading a team of occupational and speech professionals as director of related services in a charter school for autistic children, and leading a team of OTs and technology specialists in an innovative sensory-based telehealth program. Other experiences include national and international school-based services, animal-assisted support, acute care in a Level IV neonatal intensive care unit, and travel-based work.

She is deeply passionate about relationship- and strengths-based, client-centered care. She believes that all behavior makes sense and is communication. She strives to be trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming in all she does.
