Serving Sunny Isles Beach, FL
Occupational Therapy in Sunny Isles Beach
In-home and virtual neuroaffirmative OT for kids, teens, and adults — across Sunny Isles Beach and the surrounding South Florida community.
Neuroaffirmative · Identity-first · LGBTQ+ welcoming · Never compliance-based
Sunny Isles Beach is a vertical, international, multilingual community — a place where neurodivergent kids and adults navigate dense urban living, multiple languages at home, and the sensory load of high-rise life. OT delivered in your apartment, in the way you actually live, makes a real difference.
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 Sunny Isles Beach and nearby Aventura, Bal Harbour, Surfside, and North Miami Beach. Virtual telehealth is also available throughout Florida.
Sunny Isles families come from everywhere. We meet that diversity with respect — identity-first, multilingual-aware, never one-size-fits-all.

Do you actually see clients in Sunny Isles Beach?
Yes. We offer in-home occupational therapy across Sunny Isles Beach 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.
