Anik Provencher
Occupational Therapist
BSc OT
Anik (she/her) embraces life in the North with a fervent passion for Occupational Therapy. After graduating from the University of Montréal with a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy in 1992, she embarked on a journey that has seen her offer her expertise in various corners of our beautiful country, including the Yukon, Newfoundland, Quebec, and British Columbia.
Cultivating a deep appreciation for the intimacy and warmth of smaller communities, Anik eventually settled in Prince George in 2009. Her professional focus centers on home and community services, where she can intricately tailor her interventions to the unique needs of each individual, placing their goals and aspirations at the heart of her practice while taking into account the realities of their environment.
Anik's extensive experience spans mental health, home care services, pediatric care and a comprehensive understanding of sensory processing considerations, equipping her with a diverse array of therapeutic strategies. She views life as a continuous journey of learning, with her clients serving as her greatest teachers.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Anik finds solace and inspiration in nature. Whether she's engrossed in a book, nurturing her garden, or expressing herself through painting, she revels in the simple joys of self-sufficiency and healthy living. Anik's love for dance is not just a personal passion but a healing art she eagerly shares with others, adding depth and richness to her holistic approach to life and therapy.
