Meet the People Behind Ready for Action

Ready for Action Therapy grew out of who I have always been.

As a kid, I was constantly climbing, moving, exploring, and looking for the next challenge—always ready for action. Years later, after helping injured veterans prepare for climbing expeditions, leading young people through the wilderness, and working with children whose needs were often misunderstood, I began imagining a different kind of occupational therapy practice.

One where kids could move. Get outside. Take healthy risks. Discover what their bodies could do. And build confidence through real experiences—not just complete activities inside a treatment room.

That idea became Ready for Action Therapy.

Today, we are a growing team of occupational therapists who believe that therapy should feel purposeful, adventurous, deeply individualized, and genuinely fun.

Zach Klein, M.S., OTR/L, NREMT

Founder/Director and Occupational Therapist

Zach is energetic, curious, and rarely happier than when he is climbing something, exploring outside, or inventing a new movement challenge for a child.

He founded Ready for Action Therapy because he saw how many children were being defined by what they struggled with rather than being given opportunities to discover what they could do. His sessions may involve climbing, obstacle courses, sports, races, balance challenges, heavy work, strategy games, or simply finding the activity that makes a child light up.

Behind that playful approach is a clinical background spanning pediatric occupational therapy, exercise science, adaptive sports, wilderness medicine, climbing instruction, assistive technology, and intensive behavioral support. Zach previously helped injured military veterans prepare for major mountaineering expeditions and led young people through wilderness experiences with Outward Bound.

Those experiences shaped the central idea behind RFA: the right challenge, with the right support, can change how someone sees themselves.

Zach primarily serves families in Central Denver and provides clinical leadership and support across the RFA team.

Alyssa Fasoli, M.S., OTR/L

Occupational Therapist | Golden and Northwest Denver

Alyssa is an occupational therapist with experience in public schools and pediatric behavioral health settings. Her trauma-informed, relationship-based approach incorporates play, nature, movement, and sensory strategies to help children strengthen regulation, build confidence, and participate more successfully in everyday life.

Alyssa is especially skilled at building trusting relationships with children and families. She takes time to understand each child’s strengths, needs, and motivations while creating an environment where they feel safe, understood, and empowered to try new things.

She also partners closely with parents to turn therapeutic strategies into practical tools that fit naturally into everyday routines. In addition to her clinical work, Alyssa provides sensory-regulation training to professionals throughout the greater Denver area.

Molly Goldman, M.S., OTR/L

Occupational Therapist | Boulder & Denver

Molly is an occupational therapist with experience supporting children and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities across homes, schools, and community settings. She earned her master’s degree in occupational therapy from New York University and recently traded Brooklyn for Colorado in search of more nature and adventure.

Having grown up playing in the woods in Minnesota, Molly has always felt drawn to the regulating power of nature and movement. She believes that fresh air, open space, and a body in motion can help children find both calm and confidence.

Her approach is functional, playful, and grounded in real life. Molly uses meaningful activities to strengthen problem-solving, deepen the brain-body connection, and help children develop greater autonomy and confidence. She works collaboratively with families to create treatment plans that reflect each child’s strengths and motivations while fitting the dynamic needs of everyday family life.

Outside of therapy, Molly can usually be found hiking with her dogs, biking around Denver, or jumping into any body of water she can find.

Abigail Meader

Occupational Therapy Level II Fieldwork Student

Abby is an Occupational Therapy Level II Fieldwork student who is excited to learn alongside the Ready for Action Therapy team while supporting children and families under Zach’s supervision.

She is passionate about helping children build confidence, independence, and the skills they need to participate in activities that are meaningful to them. Her education has provided a strong foundation in pediatrics, sensory integration, child development, and individualized, child-centered care.

Abby’s experience as an outdoor leader and her involvement in adaptive sports have shown her how powerful movement, play, and meaningful challenges can be in helping children grow. She was drawn to RFA’s real-world approach because it gives children opportunities to practice emotional regulation, coordination, problem-solving, and confidence in environments where those skills truly matter.

Outside of fieldwork, Abby can usually be found hiking, rock climbing, backpacking, skiing, reading a good book, or spending time with friends. Having grown up in New England, she is especially excited to explore everything Colorado has to offer!

Find the Right Fit for Your Child
