Stephanie Wick, OT/L
I am the owner of Learning Charms and have been a pediatric occupational therapist since 1998.   I am certified in Interactive Metronome,  and Therapeutic Listening,   I received a bachelor's degree in psychology from Emory & Henry College, and  a master's degree in occupational therapy from Shenandoah University.   I enjoy working with children, parents, and teachers to improve a child's success in school, sports, and home.  In addition, it brings me so much pleasure to increase a child's motivation and enjoyment of fine motor and handwriting activities. Hearing a child say "I did it!" never gets old! 

I also specialize in helping students up through high school with executive skills,  handwriting, "I can't think of what to write"issue, processing speed/timing, and overall achievement.  I am especially passionate about helping students with ADHD and their families.  In addition, I often lead several summer groups and classes for fine motor and handwriting development.

My husband, Rob, and I have two children,  a dog, and two ninja cats.    I enjoy gardening, spending family time, watching my kids play sports, riding bikes on the Greenway, Pinterest /Houzz,  making family videos, and crafts.

I was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania  and have come to know North Carolina  as my home now.  I have lived in the Charlotte area and suburbs for 20 years.  I've been blessed with two wonderful boys, ages 11 and 9.  I was a dental assistant before having children. Then I was graciously led to OT and graduated from the OTA program at Cabarrus College of Health Sciences.  I have worked in the geriatric setting and pediatric outpatient setting.  I thoroughly enjoy working with children.  When a child gains a milestone,  it is a delight!  I have gained continuing education in the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum, sensory integration, and motor development.  When not working, I stay busy with my boys, serving and participating with my church, fixing up my home, being outdoors and running.

I am a graduate from CPCC’s OTA program with fieldwork experience in pediatric, geriatric and acute hospital settings. I live near uptown Charlotte with my wonderful husband, my two daughters – ages 11 and 7, two dogs and a cat that thinks she’s a dog.  Occupational therapy is a second career for me. I have a B.A. in Communication and Art History from Randolph College and spent 15+ years in corporate America as a Communication Consultant. When we adopted our younger daughter at age 3, I experienced first-hand the life-changing effects occupational therapy can have on a child and his/her family. It was these experiences that prompted me to leave the corporate world and pursue my dream of becoming an OTA. I look forward to partnering with other families to help their children reach their full potential.  In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, traveling, making pottery and anything else crafty.

My love and passion for children allows me  to recognize each child’s unique gifts and abilities while building a personal connection with each one.I take a  holistic approach to treatment while encouraging each child to overcome his/her personal challenges, motivating them to work hard to achieve their goals, and to strive to reach their maximum potential in life. ​  I have extra training in Beckman Oral Motor, Handwriting Without Tears, and Sensory Integration. I graduated from Cabarrus College of Heath Sciences.
