Welcome to Brain Bridges!
At Brain Bridges, we believe the most meaningful progress happens in the environments where children live, play, and grow. By partnering with families in their homes, we create realistic, practical, and individualized interventions that seamlessly fit into daily routines.
Every child is unique, with their own strengths, interests, and needs. That's why our play-based therapy is thoughtfully tailored to each child, so we can help foster confidence, independence, and meaningful development.

ABOUT ME
Meet Your Occupational Therapist
Hi! My name is Andrew Hwang. I’m a pediatric occupational therapist and the founder of Brain Bridges. I earned my Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Towson University in 2022 and have spent the past four years working with children of all abilities and developmental needs.
My approach is neurodiversity-affirming, play-based, and child-led. I believe therapy should feel engaging, meaningful, and tailored to each child—not like another task they have to complete. My goal is to help children build skills, confidence, and independence while celebrating the unique way they experience and interact with the world.
I also believe parents are an essential part of the therapy process. Through parent coaching, I strive to give families practical strategies they can use in everyday routines—helping parents become their child’s own “little OT” long after our sessions end.
Outside of therapy, I love cooking, baking, exercising, and spending time with my wife and son. I’m excited to bring my passion for pediatric OT and family-centered care to Brain Bridges!
