Steve Paysinger OTR/L, Executive Director of Minds in Motion Initiative. 

  

Steve has worked in the field of Brain Injury Rehabilitation for nearly 40 years as an Occupational Therapist, Leader, and Advocate.  He co-founded Minds In Motion Initiative because he believes people can live autonomously following a brain or neurological illness or injury if there are systems of care and support which promote a person’s potential to live the way they choose.    

Steve is a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network Trainers (MINT).  He is passionate about using his training in his clinical and leadership roles as well as training others. 

  

What matters most to Steve? 

Empathy  (mental entrance into the thoughts and feelings of others) without judgment.  Compassion for self and others.   Expecting change to occur when I do something different.   Leaving it better than I found it.  Helping people discover their innate and unearned value.
