About Therawerx Pediatric Therapy Specialists

LaChell Mensing, MS, OTR/L

Born in the nation’s oldest city, St. Augustine, Florida, and raised in the lush, green landscapes of Washington State, LaChell Mensing’s journey has been one of passion and purpose. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences with a minor in Psychology from Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University (FAMU) in 2006, followed by a Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from FAMU in 2009. Today, she lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband and two sons, enjoying time with family, beach outings, and travel.

LaChell began her career providing services to the aging-in-place population but soon discovered her true passion as a pediatric occupational therapist. She started her journey in pediatric care with the Babies Can’t Wait program in the Atlanta Metro Area, gaining valuable experience in understanding developmental delays in children from birth to three years old. She later expanded her services to school-aged children, which further deepened her commitment to early identification of neuro developmental disorders (NDD).

Driven by the mission to make a difference in the lives of children and their families, LaChell specializes in play-based and sensory-motor therapy. Her therapeutic approach includes sensory-based activities, sensory feeding, and motor learning techniques, all aimed at fostering growth and development.

Today, LaChell is the proud founder of Therawerx Pediatric Therapy Specialists, located in Peachtree Corners, Georgia, serving the communities of Gwinnett, Fulton, and DeKalb counties. Through her work, she continues to advocate for early intervention and comprehensive, compassionate care for children with diverse needs.
