About

Every child deserves support that feels safe, affirming, and empowering

I believe there is no need to "fix" your child. All brains are beautiful, and every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and confident in who they are. My work as an occupational therapist is rooted in helping children and families better understand their nervous systems and build skills that support regulation, connection, and everyday success. I provide playful, skilled, and personalized occupational therapy that meets each child exactly where they are. Rather than focusing on changing behaviors, I focus on understanding what a child's brain and body are communicating and supporting them with tools that truly fit their needs. I partner closely with parents, caregivers, and teachers so the strategies we use feel realistic, respectful, and meaningful in daily life. My goal is to help children grow their skills while honoring who they already are - so they can navigate challenges with confidence, self-trust, and a sense of belonging. "A compass is a powerful symbol of guidance. It serves as a constant reminder that even when we feel lost, there is always a way to find our path." Skip waitlists and sign up for flexible scheduling, personalized session lengths, and supportive occupational therapy without the limitation of insurance. The Sensory Compass, PLLC is currently a private pay based company and does not accept insurance at this time. We are happy to create Superbills for you to provide to your insurance, if they accept out of network Superbills.

Testimonials

“We are incredibly grateful to have found Ciara! What truly sets her apart is her ability to adapt her services to my daughter’s unique needs. She has made a significant difference in our daughter’s life!”

Glorianne - Durham, NC

“Ciara has a particular way of encouraging our son (4) to try new things that even we as his parents had trouble doing.  She is patient, caring, and very knowledgeable. Ciara is a great asset to our family.  Our son always enjoys his sessions!”

Matt - Durham, NC

“When we brought our teen to Ciara, she had just been diagnosed with a sensory processing disorder. Within a few months, the change was remarkable. She bonded quickly and naturally with Ciara, excited to see her each week. I can't recommend her highly enough!”
