Jessica Princell, OTD, OTR/L
FAITH-LED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY
Helping children with exceptional abilities thrive with confidence, purpose, and joy.
Jessica Princell is a dedicated pediatric occupational therapist with over 14 years of clinical experience providing evaluation, intervention, and consultation services to children and adolescents.
She earned her Bachelor of Science in Educational Psychology from Mississippi State University in 2009, specializing in early childhood development and family studies. She then completed her Doctorate in Occupational Therapy at Belmont University in 2012.
After many years in corporate healthcare, God placed a vision on her heart to create a private practice rooted in faith, compassion, and purpose. That calling led to the creation of Kingdom Kids Occupational Therapy — a place where children with exceptional abilities and their families are empowered not only to live well, but to thrive in every aspect of life.
