Occupational Therapists
Lacee B. MS, OTR/L
Hi there, I am Lacee Bukoskey. I am an occupational therapist and the owner of Thrive Therapies.
When the dream of Thrive Therapies began, I wanted to be able to provide an environment where each child and family felt comfortable and welcome. I always want families to feel supported and safe; free to discuss the day to day difficulties each family faces, in a nonjudgmental manner, and happy to celebrate their child’s victories and triumphs with us. Almost five years after the initial dream of Thrive began, we moved into a new, larger location, with room for all our wonderful staff and so much room for our clients to play, learn and grow.
I was born and raised in Montana, close to Glacier National Park. I received my undergrad degree, Bachelor of Science in Applied Psychology from Montana State University, in Bozeman, Montana. I later moved to Henderson, Nevada and went to Touro University for my master’s degree in Occupational Therapy. I have worked in a variety of settings as an OT over the course of my career, from acute rehab, acute care, home health and outpatient. I have experience in a wide range of pediatric diagnoses including autism, down syndrome, anxiety, ADD, ADHD, developmental delay, feeding difficulties, sensory processing, handwriting, pediatric stroke, cerebral palsy and more. I also have extensive experience with adult occupational therapy needs, including fall prevention, neuro rehabilitation, debility, arthritis and other orthopedic diagnoses. I served as President of the Nevada Occupational Therapy Association for four years. I feel fortunate to have been able to spend time with talented clinicians that serve on the board, inspired by their drive and motivation. I recently completed my second Masters of Science at Fielding Graduate University, in Early Childhood Development with and emphasis in mental health and developmental disabilities. I am also in the final stages of my PhD in Infant and Early Childhood Development with an emphasis on mental health.
When I am not doing OT things, I love to spend time with my family. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, doing crafty type projects, reading and watching the Vegas Golden Knights win hockey games.
