Holding Space Collaborative is founded and owned by Cincinnati-based occupational therapists, Breanna Lynch and Kristen Brokamp.
Together, they utilize principles of sensory integration throughout practice in early intervention, outpatient pediatrics, school services, and adult inpatient rehabilitation. In their partnership, Breanna and Kristen continue to advocate for the inclusion of occupational therapy as part of the holistic treatment approach when addressing mental wellness throughout the lifespan.

What is holding space?

“I think what most people are looking for is just someone to say, “ok, I am in this with you.” To say that to someone when they don’t know what is right or how they feel about themself, their life, or even you is a true act of courage, It is the bravery of being there unconditionally.”
Cleo Wade
OUR JOURNEY
When our paths crossed, we began a journey to pursue deep learning about ourselves, brain-body development, relationships, and mental health. Over time, we developed a strong sense of the power occupational therapy can have to illuminate meaning and participation for everyone throughout their lives. Our friendship and partnership is rooted in a belief that now, more than ever, a shifting perspective of health is essential to wellness; one that promotes holistic support for children, families, and the community at large. At Holding Space Collaborative, we are eager and grateful to offer meaningful support for you, those you live and love with, and those you serve. We’re so glad you’re here.
