Serving Pembroke Pines, FL
Occupational Therapy in Pembroke Pines
In-home and virtual neuroaffirmative OT for kids, teens, and adults — across Pembroke Pines and the surrounding South Florida community.
Neuroaffirmative · Identity-first · LGBTQ+ welcoming · Never compliance-based
Pembroke Pines is one of South Florida's most family-dense cities — top-ranked Broward County schools, busy after-school routines, and the constant pace that comes with a city of 170,000+. Virtual and in-home OT means support fits between school pickup, soccer practice, and dinner.
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 is available across Pembroke Pines — from West Pines and Pembroke Lakes out through Chapel Trail and Walnut Creek. Virtual telehealth is also available throughout Florida.
Pembroke Pines parents take their kids' development seriously and ask hard questions about therapy approaches. We answer directly — no extinction-based methods, no compliance training, no suppressing your kid's natural way of being.

Do you actually see clients in Pembroke Pines?
Yes. We offer in-home occupational therapy across Pembroke Pines 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.
