Dr. Savanna Forry, OTD, OTR/L
Hello and welcome! My name is Dr. Savanna Forry, OTD, OTR/L.
I am a licensed and registered occupational therapist in the Los Angeles area with a passion for empowering student-athletes and neurodivergent individuals to reach their fullest potential.
I founded my practice and chose the name Scholar-Athlete Society because it reflects the grit and competitive spirit athletes use to succeed, which are the same qualities that anyone can apply when navigating life's challenges.
Using function-focused and sensory-informed strategies, I help you thrive in your daily life, empowering you to build your independence, resilience, and confidence in all you do.
MY GOAL:
Provide you with practical, action-oriented strategies, skills, & coaching to move you from "help me" to "I got this!"

What to Expect
Great! You booked your first session, now what?
-
After completing a 15-minute consultation, a thorough intake assessment and evaluation will be conducted in your first, 50-minute session. This is to ensure that your goals, values, and strengths are discussed in order to steer which direction your individualized plan is going to go.
Sessions typically include open conversations about your life experiences, actions, behaviors, thoughts, and emotional states. Active engagement in tasks is also likely to occur.
As your therapist, I will offer guidance, support, and evidence-based techniques to help you navigate challenges and achieve your goals.
Sessions are designed to be confidential. Your privacy is top priority by ethical and legal standards. Exceptions may apply if statements or expressions of harm or legal requirements prompt reporting (this will be discussed in further detail at the beginning of your initial session).
-
Depending on how often you’d like to meet, you can establish a weekly, recurring time slot or simply book sessions as you go. Rebooking as you go will be self-determined.

I understand that life happens, and some things are just out of our control or foresight. Please reach out either by phone or email to allow for a 24 hour cancellation or rescheduling notice and avoid a full session fee. If cancellation or rescheduling occurs within 24 hours leading up to the originally scheduled session, you will be charged a full session rate.

“I wish I could tell you how important Dr. Savanna is to us as a family, and how grateful we are to her. She is my daughter’s trusted confidant, her advisor, and the person who helps her figure things out. Teen years are hard with so many changes, and Dr. Savanna is still the one my daughter trusts and depends on. Thank you!!”
“Dr. Savanna has totally changed things for me. Before, I was always behind on assignments and felt so stressed out, especially during sports season. She helped me figure out ways to stay organized and manage my time better, so now I feel way more in control. She really gets what it’s like to be a student-athlete, and her advice has helped me stay focused and calm. I’m so thankful for everything she’s taught me!”
“Working with Dr. Savanna was truly life-changing for me. I struggled with time management and felt overwhelmed by my school workload, always playing catch-up. Dr. Savanna helped me break down my work and showed me practical strategies to organize my time. Her guidance not only helped me get more done but also made me feel more in control and confident about my day. Now, I’m on top of my coursework, and I finally feel like I have what I need to do well. I can’t recommend her enough!”
