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 December 1, 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.
Rachel supports children with sensory processing differences, fine motor and handwriting development, motor planning, self-care and daily living skills, and emotional regulation. Her sensory integration training informs play-based sessions that help children feel organized, capable, and confident, and she coaches parents so the strategies carry into everyday life.
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.
Rachel is a pediatric occupational therapist who 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.
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.
A licensed OT matters because your child's care is then 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.
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.

Some children need help learning to talk. Others need help with handwriting, coordination, or coping with noise and textures. Many need both. Therapy Clubhouse is led by Nita Anavim, M.S., CCC-SLP, and Rachel Yashouafar, MA, OTR/L, so a family who needs speech and occupational therapy can arrange both through one practice instead of managing two providers, two intake processes and two schedules.
The first step is a free 15-minute consultation with a licensed therapist. Call (805) 702-3427 or send a message.
Tell us what you are noticing about your child. A licensed therapist reads every message, not an assistant, and replies within one business day. The consultation is free, lasts about 15 minutes, and carries no obligation. There is no waiting list. If you would rather talk now, call (805) 702-3427.
