Get to Know Us
Over our extensive careers in healthcare and rehabilitative therapy, we noticed a gap in healthcare coverage related to access of adults in the community and ability to receive therapy and wellness services. We decided to bridge that gap by bringing an outpatient therapy clinic directly to clients. Clients do not have to worry about transportation, transportation costs, or being around large amounts of people. This idea sparked the development of the Home Connection Therapy team to deliver a new approach to rehab with home Outpatient Occupational and Physical therapy. Home Connection Therapy offers a personalized therapy experience and our client's become part of our family! Our main goal is to assist clients in finding solutions to health problems and provide support for them to feel strong and confident in their bodies to improve overall quality of life. Clients chose the direction of therapy sessions aimed at feeling better, decreasing pain, and achieving their movement and activity goals. The HCT therapists look forward to bringing the therapy you deserve directly to you, to help maintain your independence and continue to thrive in your own environment!

Occupational Therapist
Lauren Vanderlaan MS, OTR/L, CCM, SHSS, CFPS
Lauren is an Occupational Therapist deeply passionate about fostering independence and empowerment in the lives of individuals. With a vision to make healthcare accessible and convenient, she founded Home Connection Therapy, a mobile outpatient service dedicated to bringing personalized therapy right to your doorstep.
Her journey into occupational therapy was driven by a desire to make a tangible difference in people's lives. Over the last 12 years, she has had the privilege of working with diverse individuals, witnessing their resilience and determination firsthand. This experience ignited her mission to create a mobile service that ensures therapy is not just a service but an essential part of everyday life.
Beyond her professional endeavors, she is a proud pet parent to a blind and deaf dog. Her unwavering spirit and unique perspective on the world constantly remind me of the importance of adaptability, empathy, and the incredible resilience within us all.
When I'm not on the move with my mobile clinic, you'll often find me amidst nature, exploring hiking trails or engaging in water activities. There's something profoundly rejuvenating about the great outdoors that resonates with me and fuels my commitment to holistic wellness.
At Home Connection Therapy, we believe in breaking barriers to access quality healthcare. Our mobile outpatient services are designed to fit seamlessly into your life, ensuring therapy is convenient, effective, and tailored to your specific needs. We are committed to providing compassionate care that not only addresses challenges but also celebrates milestones, no matter how big or small.
