Serving Coral Gables, FL
Occupational Therapy in Coral Gables
In-home and virtual neuroaffirmative OT for kids, teens, and adults — across Coral Gables and the surrounding South Florida community.
Neuroaffirmative · Identity-first · LGBTQ+ welcoming · Never compliance-based
Coral Gables families are deeply embedded in Miami's cultural and educational ecosystem — UM, Gables High, the Biltmore neighborhoods. Many are juggling bilingual households, demanding careers, and the very real load of supporting a neurodivergent kid in a high-performance environment.
Ocean Tide Therapy is led by Stefanie Irmen, OTR/L, an occupational therapist licensed in Florida and Illinois. With 10+ years of experience across school-based, outpatient, and developmental settings, Stefanie specializes in neuroaffirmative care for clients of all ages.
In-home OT serves Coral Gables and surrounding Miami-Dade neighborhoods including Coconut Grove, South Miami, and Pinecrest. Virtual telehealth is also available throughout Florida.
Coral Gables is a community of thoughtful, well-informed parents who want OT delivered with sophistication and dignity. That's exactly what we do.

Do you actually see clients in Coral Gables?
Yes. We offer in-home occupational therapy across Coral Gables and the surrounding South Florida area, plus secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth throughout Florida. You choose what works for your family.
Is telehealth OT as effective as in-person?
For most goals we work on — sensory regulation, executive function, interoception, parent coaching, and adult neurodivergent support — both in-home and telehealth are strongly supported by research. The home setting often works better than a clinic because we're building skills in the actual environment where your family lives.
What insurance do you accept?
We are in-network with Aetna in Florida, and BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS) of Florida is coming soon. We also accept private pay, HSA/FSA, and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. See our FAQ page for details.
