Hello, I’m Heidi! I have been a professional contemporary dancer for over eighteen years in addition to devoting my life to working in the fitness industry. I was grateful to combine my passion for dance and fitness with my love for the Parkinson’s community when I became a certified Dancing Through Parkinson’s Instructor. I am also a certified Pilates, Rebound, and Barre instructor, and teach a wide variety of fitness classes in beautiful Long Beach, CA. As a personal trainer, my approach is client centered, inclusive and judgement free, and always adaptive to the needs of the participants so that everyone feels challenged and included. As a DTP instructor, I utilize my fitness skills, creativity and passion to deepen my work with those seeking neuro rehabilitation in order to inspire hope and improve their quality of life. When I’m not dancing in the studio or teaching fitness classes, I love to do Brazilian jiu jitsu and indoor rock climbing. Some other interesting facts about me include: I’ve climbed to Everest Base Camp. I have my motorcycle license. I backpacked South America with my husband for a year. I was a pole vaulter. I’m a twin!

Hello! My name is Lea, and I am a third-year doctoral student at the Chicago School of Professional Psychology, specializing in clinical neuropsychology. I am thrilled to be continuing my neuropsychological training at re+active. My passion lies in the assessment and treatment of individuals with chronic pain, neurological disorders, traumatic brain injury, and working with those who have experienced complex trauma and vicarious trauma.

In addition to my pursuit to become a neuropsychologist, I hold my master’s in counseling psychology from Mount Saint Mary’s University (MSMU) and am an active Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I love the field so much that I am also an instructor of undergraduate psychology courses at MSMU. I am deeply committed to working in a field that promotes human ability and personal growth. My clients appreciate my warmth, humor, and genuine contribution to our work together. I have successfully treated a diverse range of individuals and particularly enjoy creatively collaborating with caretakers and empathetic individuals, such as healthcare providers, nurses, wellness practitioners, first-responders, best friends, and super-parents, who need support in helping themselves.

My approach is to treat you as the unique individual you are, striving to understand you and develop a collaborative plan. I respect your individuality and value talk therapy as we explore your inner world, identify patterns, increase awareness, and make impactful changes. My foundation is integrative therapy, utilizing a wide range of perspectives tailored to your needs. I am passionate about viewing you as a holistic and ever-evolving individual. This allows us to utilize various theories and modalities that best serve you. I fully support a holistic approach to rehabilitation, ensuring that your providers consult to provide you with the best and most up-to-date care.

Outside of my busy academic and professional schedule, I enjoy the outdoors, especially the ocean. I am extremely grateful for yoga and the way in which movement has changed my own life. I engage in various crafts and am currently in full DIY mode for my upcoming wedding. I’m thinking about picking up woodworking! My partner and I share our home with two cats, Meredith and Oliver, who have our whole hearts.

I look forward to working with you and supporting your journey!

Hey! I’m Carter!

I work with an amazing team who are as dedicated and passionate as me when it comes to serving people! Though I don’t physically administer therapy, I work behind the scenes to ensure that memorable connection, positive experiences, and life-changing progress is achieved! I use my Southern Belle charm and my Colgate smile to brighten someone’s day!

I got my bachelor’s degree in English with an honor in History. I furthered my education and obtained my Masters in English with a specialization in Gothic Studies.

Hi, I am Kimberly Crickette, and I am thrilled to be a part of the talented, passionate group of providers that makes up the re+active team! My passion for psychology began during my undergraduate experience at UCLA and continued to grow during my Master’s in Clinical Psychology at Pepperdine. Here, I worked as part of the Cedars Sinai Cancer Patient & Family Support Team, where I witnessed the benefits of holistic, integrated approaches to healthcare and the intersection between physical and mental health.

Throughout both my personal and professional journey, I’ve been consistently impressed by the resilience of the human spirit and the power of supportive relationships. As an associate marriage and family therapist, I have been relationally trained. In our sessions, I like to focus our work on 3 areas: relationship to yourself (including illness identity), relationship to others, & relationship to the world. I am incredibly passionate about collaborating with my clients to creatively find solutions that help them feel seen, heard, and that ultimately best meet their needs. I find it such an honor to be able to walk alongside individuals, providing support and tools to foster growth, resilience, and healing.

When I am not engaging with colleagues and clients, you most likely will find me snuggled in a cozy chair with one (or five!) delicious books, driving with the windows down and music up, breathing in the salty beach air, or trying to master a new skill (currently tennis).

I look forward to meeting you and becoming a part of your story!

Hi, I’m Ophelia!

I’m originally from The Bay Area in NorCal, but moved here to attend University of California, Irvine. I then stayed to live in SoCal after graduating due to falling in love with the area, and now I’m here!

Though I don’t offer physical therapy myself, I work with people who are totally ready to start their journey. As a care coordinator, I help them to take some of the first steps in creating a plan– transforming their hesitation into determination. I love being able to make their time at the clinic easier and welcoming however I can, even if with a simple phone call. Additionally, I’m currently trying to decide if I’d like to pursue occupational therapy or physical therapy! I earned a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, which I pursued due to my great interest in the intricacies of the human mind – particularly personality disorders – and its effects on the human body. I also have experience in working with disabled individuals and hope to continue working with them!

When I’m not scheduling appointments and calling clients, you can find me crocheting, thrifting, (badly) attempting recipes, or collecting sea glass to create original pieces of art! Three fun facts about me are: I’m trying to learn how to roller skate, I’ve performed in theatre, and I’m a big horror and anime fan. If you’re absolutely excited to dive into more, contact me! I can’t wait to meet you.

Hi! I’m Keana! Program Manager at re+active. I have a passion for all things PT, OT, Psychology and strive to make therapy and wellness as accessible as possible for all those ready to live their best lives!

I achieved my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology where I learned to unwrap the complexities of the human mind and why we do the things we do everyday.

I love looking for proactive and innovative ways of helping people reach their goals and enjoy getting back to life!

Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist

Doctor of Physical Therapy

Education Director at [re+active]

Hi, I’m Brittany and I am excited to meet you!

I serve people with neurologic diagnoses, chronic pain, and headaches who are looking for ways to recover their ability to do the things in life that mean the most to them. I want to listen to your story, create a game plan specific to your needs, and give you the tools that will help you get more out of life.

After I achieved my doctorate degree in physical therapy from USC, I wanted to learn more about how I could better help people with neurologic conditions have less pain and help people with chronic pain get control of their lives again. This led me to complete the Orthopedic Physical Therapy Residency at USC, which subsequently allowed me to become a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist. Additionally, through the residency program, I learned how to improve the lives of people with Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (or jaw pain) and I developed a strong passion for treating people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

When I’m not at [re+active], I love to travel around the world with my husband, eat and cook delicious food, and spend time with loved ones (including my chubby gray cat).

I can’t wait to meet you and encourage you on your journey to a better life.

Jenna Mangiagli MS, OTR/L (she/her) Occupational Therapist Center Coordinator of Clinical Education (CCCE) Parkinson’s Wellness Recovery Certified Therapist

Hello! My name is Jenna Mangiagli and I’m an occupational therapist at re+active. Growing up in Hermosa Beach ultimately led me to pursue higher education in occupational therapy. Whether surfing with family or taking a walk along the coast, I feel lucky to have grown up in a community that fostered my personal growth. I aspire to utilize my unique background so that others can experience some version of a nurturing environment that I am fortunate enough to know. My ultimate goal is to help you engage in activities that are important to you! As a former Division I athlete, I also understand the importance of taking care of your wellbeing. I take a wholistic approach to treatment and consider connections between mind, body, and spirit to get you back to the things you love. Although I’m very passionate about being an occupational therapist, I’m also passionate about what I do outside of work! Some of my favorite hobbies include surfing, traveling, and exploring really anything outdoors. I can’t wait to meet you and be a part of your journey at re+active. ​ I’m also the Center Coordinator of Clinical Education (CCCE), so please don’t hesitate to reach out to me for any fieldwork placement related questions!

Hi, I’m Amy, and I am so excited to meet you!

I serve people with neurologic diagnoses, rare diseases, and chronic conditions. I am passionate about helping people regain function and take control of their lives.

After graduating with my doctorate in physical therapy from Mount St. Mary’s University, I began working in acute rehabilitation, helping patients return home after their hospitalizations. I also served as adjunct faculty in the neuro curriculum at Mount St. Mary’s, and became a certified clinical instructor for PT students.

When my son was born in 2015, I learned first-hand about the unique challenges that stem from rare and chronic illnesses; my physical therapy practice has been enriched and guided by my experiences as a mother to a child with complex medical needs. Too often people with rare and chronic conditions are met with skepticism and a lack of support and knowledge from medical professionals.

I am truly honored to be a part of your healing journey and will work with you to develop a care plan with other knowledgeable professionals to foster your autonomy, independence, dignity, and improved quality of life.

When I’m not at [re+active], I can be found spending time with my family! I live in Torrance with my husband, son, and bernedoodle. You can often find us walking our dog at the beach and frequenting the local playgrounds in the South Bay. I love physical activity, and spend most of my free time running, swimming in the beautiful Pacific Ocean, and hiking. I also am a bibliophile, and can often be found with my nose in a book!

If you’re dying to know more, here are 3 things you don’t know about me… 

1. I am a writer and a speaker, with several articles and stories on rare diseases and parenting published online.

2. I practice mindfulness meditation every day and keep a daily gratitude journal. I believe strongly in the positive roles gratitude and meditation play in our health and wellness.

3. As a child, I learned how to read music before I learned to read words. I love to play my flute, jam on the ukulele, and sing whenever possible. In fact, you might even hear me singing during our physical therapy sessions!

I cannot wait to meet you and help you live your life in the way that is most meaningful to YOU!

Lian Todd MS, OTR/L (she/her) Occupational Therapist PWR!Moves® Certified Therapist 500 hr Yoga Certified Yoga Instructor

Hi! My name is Lian and I am an occupational therapist at re+active!

I decided to become an OT because I love helping others live to their fullest potential! I’m truly inspired by working with people with neurological disorders and hearing everyone’s unique story. What is meaningful to YOU? Because that is what I’m all about. I create therapeutic interventions that center around getting back to daily living tasks, work, school, doing hobbies, or anything that matters to you! I treat the person that I’m working with as a whole being, incorporating their social supports and thinking of the natural contexts of their home and community. I’m also a certified yoga instructor that specializes in alignment-based vinyasa flow to all ages and abilities. I love to incorporate my yoga background in treatment sessions to focus on breath work, stress management and overall mental/physical wellbeing.

As much as I love my job, it’s important for me to do the things I love outside of work! My favorite hobbies are dancing, yoga, painting and reading. Since I recently moved to LA from Boston, I’m excited to explore hiking trails and the restaurants (I am a huge foodie- will take recommendations :)!

Hi there! My name is Sophia. I am a fourth-year clinical psychology PsyD candidate with an emphasis in health psychology and I am thrilled to be completing my year-long clinical placement at re+active.

My passions all stem from the intersection of the mind-body connection and social justice. I love exploring the role of the nervous system in physical and mental health and engaging in research and advocacy work to address systemic barriers in healthcare settings - especially for people in larger bodies and the BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and neurodivergent communities. My health psychology background centers on chronic pain, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, dysautonomia, long COVID, endocrine conditions, and functional disorders, with an emphasis on chronic medical conditions in the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities.

At re+active, I provide psychotherapy, medical hypnotherapy for pain and gastrointestinal symptoms, psychoeducation, and neuropsychological assessment. I particularly enjoy helping people adjust to life with a chronic illness or disability, cultivate positive body image in the midst of changing physical abilities, and improve vagal tone for optimal symptom management. In therapy, I integrate approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and relational-cultural therapy with somatic tools from my experience as a yoga teacher to help you connect with your values, build upon your strengths, and reach your therapeutic goals. My ultimate goal in both therapy and assessment is to create a collaborative, curious, safe environment for you to explore your identity, experiences, and path forward. I believe in an interdisciplinary approach to wellness and work with your physical and occupational therapists along the way to make sure you get the most holistic care possible.

Outside of my time at re+active, you can typically find me teaching yoga, sitting in any sunny patch of grass I can find, songwriting, spending time with my pets and partner, or attempting (not very successfully) to learn to surf. My heart has an eternal soft spot for Survivor, The Sims, and oddball ocean creatures. I look forward to being a part of your therapeutic journey!

I find so much joy in travel and hope to keep doing more of it, whether that be traveling to new countries or traveling back home to Leawood, Kansas to spend time with family.

Hey, I’m Marissa!

I’m a South Bay local and lover of all things neuro! I recently graduated from UC San Diego where I earned a Bachelors of Science in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience. During my studies, I fell in love with learning about the gut-brain axis and the interconnected relationship between our physical health and our brain health. I’m passionate about living an active, well-balanced lifestyle, and I strive to help others do the same!

Growing up in Redondo Beach provided me with the privilege of year-round sunshine, as well as access to endless outdoor activities. When I’m not coordinating care at re+active, I enjoy running on The Strand, snowboarding, playing beach volleyball, and curling up with a good book. I hope to attend grad school in the coming years and further my education in this amazing field!

Hi! I am Pearl Wongserbchart, and I am excited to be part of the re+active team! I am currently in my fourth year of the clinical psychology doctoral program at the Chicago School’s Los Angeles campus, with an emphasis in neuropsychology. My passion for neurology has been a central focus since my graduate studies at Pepperdine University, where I earned a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. At that time, I was working extensively with individuals living with memory impairment and dementia at OPICA Adult Day Care and Counseling Center.

I have worked in various clinical settings, including community mental health agencies and medical centers, serving children, older adults, and their families. I provided assessments and therapeutic services for neurodivergent individuals and those with chronic illnesses. While I have gained experience with diverse populations, I found a special connection in working with both pediatric and geriatric populations.

At re+active, I provide services including psychotherapy, cognitive rehabilitation, psychoeducation, and neuropsychological assessments. I particularly enjoy working with children and older adults, as well as collaborating with families. In therapy, I draw on empirically supported treatments such as mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help individuals adjust to life changes. I emphasize a person-centered, strength-based, and holistic approach to care, valuing diversity and individual uniqueness as key aspects of the therapeutic relationship.

With a personal interest in the arts and training in expressive art and play therapy, I enjoy integrating creativity into therapy sessions. Art can be a powerful tool for fostering a sense of safety and self-compassion, allowing you to explore emotions and develop coping strategies for life’s challenges. My goal is to promote a trusting, supportive, and collaborative environment throughout your therapeutic journey.

Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family and puppy. I love hiking, swimming, playing tennis, walking my dog, and exploring new cuisines. I also enjoy dedicating time to arts and crafts, always excited to experiment with new materials.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your journey!
