Eileen LaMourie, M.S., OTR/L, is the driving force behind Suite E: A Place for Kids, a dynamic, mobile pediatric occupational therapy practice bringing specialized care directly to families on the west side of Manhattan. Moving beyond the walls of a traditional clinic, Eileen now meets children right where life happens—in their homes, at local playgrounds, and throughout the community.
At the core of Eileen’s practice is a relationship-first framework rooted in the DIR/Floortime model. Rather than training isolated skills, she follows each child’s natural interests to build emotional connection, social communication, and functional milestones from the ground up. This child-led philosophy blends with her advanced sensory processing expertise, allowing her to transform everyday homes and public parks into therapeutic spaces uniquely tailored for emotional regulation and motor development.
What makes her sessions unusual is her creative clinical background. As an award-winning therapist with a past in theater and production design, she infuses a rare sense of imagination and high energy into every intervention. This playful, creative lens ensures that whether a client is climbing a local playground structure or participating in one of her interactive home-based OT sessions, therapy always feels like play with a purpose.
Eileen works collaboratively with typical children, their families, and caregivers, and other team members such as pediatricians, teachers, speech therapists, and psychologists on overcoming barriers to learning, such as challenges to postural control, sensory issues, core weakness, and attentional concerns. Eileen is also dedicated to working with children with autism, genetic disorders, traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, and communication disorders. In addition to one-to-one and dyadic sessions with children and families, Eileen has created and implemented many sensory motor groups with children ages 18 months—17 years, as well as designed customized in-class sensory environments. Eileen designed and built her own unique sensory gym which she maintained for many years before making the current move to community and home based interventions.
