My name is Mollie Yates, and I am a licensed and certified occupational therapist in behavioral health. I received my master’s in occupational therapy from the University of Washington in 2010. For the past 13 years I have worked with clients with the full spectrum of mental health conditions in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I have also participated as a guest lecturer at the University of Washington’s Master of Occupational Therapy Program in mental health courses. I currently serve on the University of Washington MOT programs’ Clinical Advisory Board.

Before becoming an OT I majored in architecture at Barnard College, Columbia University. This has informed an ongoing interest in expression through arts and crafts that I am fortunate to be able to weave into my practice as an OT.

I live in the Seattle area and enjoy time with family and cats, cooking, dabbling with new art media, making attempts at gardening, and visiting national parks.
