Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L
Rachel Yashouafar is a registered and licensed occupational therapist (MA, OTR/L) and co-founder of Therapy Clubhouse who helps children from birth to 18 develop motor, sensory, and everyday-living skills through play-based, family-included therapy.
Rachel Yashouafar is a licensed occupational therapist and co-founder of Therapy Clubhouse. She works with infants, toddlers, children, and teens throughout Westlake Village, the Conejo Valley, and surrounding Ventura County communities — in the home, over telehealth, and (beginning Fall 2026) at the Westlake Village clinic. Rachel's approach is warm, practical, and grounded in how children actually live their days: getting dressed, handling transitions, playing with friends, managing big feelings, and keeping up at school. Therapy goals are built around real routines so progress shows up where it matters most — at home and in the classroom.Education and Credentials

About Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L
Rachel Yashouafar is a licensed and registered occupational therapist with Therapy Clubhouse. The letters “MA, OTR/L” mean she holds a master's degree in occupational therapy and is an Occupational Therapist, Registered and Licensed — having completed graduate education, supervised fieldwork, the national certification examination, and the state licensure required to practice.
How Rachel Supports Children and Families
As a pediatric occupational therapist, Rachel helps children build the everyday skills they need to play, learn, and care for themselves — fine and gross motor skills, handwriting, sensory processing, coordination, and self-care routines like dressing and feeding. She works with children across a range of needs and tailors each plan to the child's strengths, goals, and family life.
A Strengths-Based, Play-Centered Philosophy
Rachel believes the best therapy looks and feels like play. She follows a child's interests, builds on what they do well, and turns everyday routines into opportunities for growth — reflecting Therapy Clubhouse's commitment to care that is knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely connected to real life.
Why Working With a Licensed OT Matters
Choosing a licensed, registered occupational therapist means your child's care is grounded in evidence-based practice and professional standards. A qualified OT can identify the underlying reasons a child struggles with daily tasks, design an individualized plan, and measure progress responsibly — giving families clarity and confidence.
What Families Can Expect
Families who work with Rachel and the Therapy Clubhouse team can expect clear communication, individualized goals written in everyday language, and a collaborative approach that treats parents as partners. Care is available in-home and via telehealth across Westlake Village and Ventura County, and progress is tracked and shared so you always know how your child is doing.
What does an occupational therapist do? Pediatric OTs help children develop the motor, sensory, and daily-living skills they need to participate fully in play, school, and home life.
What does OTR/L mean? Occupational Therapist, Registered (nationally certified) and Licensed (by the state) — marks of professional qualification.
