Dr. Sara Lessem
Hi! I’m Sara, a licensed pediatric occupational therapist, born and raised on the North Shore of Chicago. I am passionate about helping families thrive in their day to day lives. I went to the University of Pittsburgh for both undergraduate and graduate school, where I earned my clinical doctorate in Occupational Therapy. I’ve worked with people across the lifespan—from older adults to young children—but I’ve found my true passion in pediatrics.
My approach is creative and playful, focused on what truly motivates each child and what matters most to their family. I believe therapy should feel meaningful, engaging, and built around real-life goals. I see myself as a teammate for families—here to support autonomy, build confidence, and help everyone feel empowered along the way.
Outside of work, you can find me cooking with my husband for friends and family, exploring a new walk around the city with our puppy Oakland, or playing with my nephews!

Dr. Kimberly Frank
Hi! I’m Kim, a licensed pediatric occupational therapist with a passion for helping children build confidence, independence, and joy through meaningful, play-based interventions. I attended The Ohio State University for undergraduate and stayed to get my doctorate in occupational therapy. I have years of experience working in clinics, schools, and home-based settings.
I believe in a strengths-based, child-led approach and love collaborating closely with families, educators, and other professionals to create supportive environments that help each child thrive. My sessions often include movement, play, laughter, and lots of creativity- because therapy should be as fun as it is functional!
Outside of work, you’ll find me trying out new restaurants around Chicago, hunting for the city’s best coffee shops, or spending quality time with friends and family.
