Kelsea Rodriguez is an Occupational Therapist at SPTC. She was born and raised in New Jersey, but recently relocated to the Gulf Coast. She graduated from Stockton University in 2016 with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a focus in childhood studies and mental health and again in 2021 with a Master’s of Science in Occupational Therapy.

Kelsea has had the opportunity to work with adults in outpatient rehabilitation, acute care rehabilitation, and community settings, as well as children in a community setting.

She became an occupational therapist to ensure everyone knows they are not alone in their time of need. She strives to make an impact on the lives of her patients and their caregivers by providing the tools to improve their quality of life and functional ability.

In her spare time, she enjoys seeing what the Gulf Coast has to offer, baking, practicing yoga and working out, and watching scary movies with her husband, Nick. She has also gained certification as a yoga teacher and Reiki II practitioner to improve her holistic healing practice.

Kelsea’s favorite quote is “When you take time to replenish your spirit, it allows you to serve others from the overflow. You cannot serve from an empty vessel.”- Eleanor Brownn
