Anastasia Smith received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2013 from Columbia University. She has dedicated her entire career to serving the pediatric population in and around the Philadlephia area. Early in her career she worked full time in a leading children's hospital where she built an incredible foundation of skills to treat children with multi faceted needs from birth to 21 years of age. In 2019, she transitioned from a demanding hospital setting to a school-based setting to continue to pursue a career she felt so passionate about while also accommodating her growing family needs. In this transition, Anastasia discovered a glaring need for collaboration, mentoring, additional resources and support for school based physical therapists. She worked for several contracting agencies that knew little about the schools she was serving and her responsibilities and role as a school based physical therapist. In 2020, Anastasia established her own LLC so she could better advocate for her own needs as a professional and the needs of the students she was serving. Anastasia is committed to empowering other pediatric physical therapists secure a rewarding yet flexible career in the school setting with emerging opportunities for professional growth. By sharing her expertise and knowledge, she helps ensure that physical therapists, at all stages in their career, can thrive in the school setting.
