Ashley Tillery started Flourish Therapy Service in 2024 as a way to serve clients in an individualized and family-centered way. She loves partnering with parents to provide strategies and encourage their children to FLOURISH. 

Ashley graduated from UGA with her Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sports Science, and then graduated with her Master of Science in Occupational Therapy from Brenau University.  She currently lives in Athens with her husband and loves spending time in the Athens community. 

Ashley first learned about OT through her best friend in middle school, who has cerebral palsy. Seeing the difference that a therapist could make in the lives of others was inspiring to her and helped her decide that this is the career she wanted to pursue. Since that time, she has invested lots of time and energy learning the latest research and new strategies that can be used to help children grow. Her favorite part of working as an occupational therapist is partnering with families to help their children thrive and knowing that parents are more hopeful and confident when the session is over. She loves serving as the owner and lead occupational therapist of Flourish Therapy Service and looks forward to growing her skills in the areas of sensory integration and feeding therapy in the future. 

In her free time, Ashley loves to run, do puzzles, watch baseball games (Go Braves!), and travel. She has visited all 50 states and looks forward to doing some international travel in the future.
