Erin Wilke OTR/L

Founder of Treehouse Therapy

Erin started Treehouse Therapy in 2019 when she felt a calling to support children and families and their struggles at home in addition to the work she was doing in the schools. Erin has been an OT for over 20 years and has loved working with children her entire career. Erin has worked in outpatient therapy clinics, in homes and in the schools, so she brings extensive experience from each of those settings into her practice. Erin loves working with families to try to alleviate the daily stressors that their children are having. Erin especially loves working with children outdoors, as she has seen first hand the amazing impact nature can have to make children feel more calm, confident and connected. Erin has extensive training in sensory integration (SIPT certified), DIRFloortime, SOS Approach to Feeding, the CONTIGO Approach (for outdoor OT), Powerfully You (for social-emotional regulation), Handwriting Without Tears, and always brings a neuro-affirming approach to her work with children and families.

Erin lives in Signal Mountain near Chattanooga, TN with her husband and 3 children, plus a couple of furry pets. Erin loves spending time with her family and friends, traveling, hiking, gardening, weight training, running, and being outside as much as possible.

Treehouse Therapy fosters your child’s strengths and interests to overcome challenges using play based occupational therapy services with a relationship based approach.

COTA/L
I graduated from Lee University with a masters degree in special education in 2009 and taught for 8 1/2 years in the elementary setting. In 2019, I graduated from Roane State Community College with a certification as an Occupational Therapy Assistant. I spent a year working in the school setting as a COTA and then decided to work with kids in nature. You will often find me outside mountain biking, hiking, camping or taking afternoon walks on local trails.

COTA/L
Working as a COTA for 9 years, primarily with the adult population, my passion for helping others shifted towards the pediatric population after having kids of my own. I discovered how precious children are; seeing the world thru their eyes in a supportive environment is key to helping them thrive. It is a joy to connect with children and their families by helping them feel supported as they learn how to reach their goals. My desire is to provide creative and quality OT services while facilitating a connection to nature with a kind and compassionate approach. A few tidbits about me are I enjoy reading books, eating chicken wings, spending time with my family, and being in nature.

COTA/L
I have always had a passion for helping individuals reach their highest potential in overall health and well being. After receiving a Bachelors degree in Health and Wellness Promotion from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and gaining many years of experience working with kids of all different abilities in Hamilton County schools and other programs, I found occupational therapy and knew it was my calling. I then received an Associate of Applied Science degree at Roane State Community College in the Occupational Therapy Assistant program. I love helping kids learn, grow and work through challenges so that they are able to live their lives to the fullest!
