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.

Common Questions from Coral Gables Families

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.
