Independent Living Therapy Services, LLC

Ivyrose Gonzales is an exceptional resource. She has worked with me tirelessly over this past year to solve my wheelchair seating issues. She has a depth of experience, creativity and tenacity that make her invaluable to me and others. I highly recommend Ivyrose Gonzales Independent Living Services.

I know I will never be able to say enough about Ivy Rose, the owner and Occupational Therapist for Independent Living Therapy Services. I fortunately found her by chance when my Rheumatologist recommended I see an OT for the hand pain I had from arthritis. When I first saw Ivy Rose she listened to my symptoms, looked at my hands and explained using skeletal models what was causing my pain and difficulty to carry out everyday tasks. Without getting into great detail, each week Ivy Rose worked on my hands, gave me easy exercises to loosen tight areas and strengthen my hands. The overall result was freedom from pain, more flexibility in my joints and reeducating myself in how to perform daily tasks to support my therapy. I have had Physical Therapy in the past and NEVER received the one o

Coming coming up on a three year anniversary of experiencing a stroke event, and the subsequent therapies they go with the recovery, I have met very many talented, dedicated people along my path. Ivy Rose stands well above all these other people in her knowledge, sharing, abilities, and communication to set my expectations properly for what I am experiencing in the past and now. I have seen more progress in the past seven months with her than the previous two years with others. If you are in this situation, needing an OT therapist partner, I would not hesitate to recommend her to you. She’s a joy! Thank you, Ivy Rose, Steven

Working with Ivy Rose 🌹 was the best thing i have done for my treatment plan! I have moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. The therapy i have received has improved my hand/wrist/fingers rom a 100%! Plus i understand how my condition works now. The exercise s and techniques i have learned, i have easily been able to continue to use on my own! I can't say enough how grateful I am that Ivy Rose or Independent Living were my occupational therapy!

I really love working with Ivyrose! For many years now, I have been dealing with some health issues. Nobody on my team was able to find me the right help. Once Ivyrose heard about this issue, two days later, she had found me a pelvic therapist. Ivyrose has gone to a few of these pelvic therapy sessions with me. Due to this, it was also discovered the way my old seat was made was causing me the health issues I have been having. The Seating Clinic is making a new seat. Ivyrose has gone to every appointment with me. Ivyrose was put on my team when Blue Cross Blue Shield denied getting the elevation part of my new power wheelchair. When Ivyrose started working with me, she started working on the application process for the elevation part, and that is how I got it.
