About DrSensory
How We Write and Who Reviews It
A library of therapy and developmental content, and a directory of 2,294 clinics across the United States.
DrSensory is two things: a library of therapy and developmental content, and a directory of occupational, physical, and speech therapy clinics across the United States.
We cover children and adults. Most people arrive with a specific question — what a diagnosis means, whether a therapy is worth trying, how to get an evaluation, or who practices nearby. The site is built to answer those directly.
Clinical content is reviewed by a named licensed clinician. Everything else is written by our editorial team with sources shown.
How we decide what to publish
This is the part most health sites don't put in writing, and it's the part that matters.
A named clinician reviews clinical content
Where a page carries a clinical review, the reviewer is named, their credential is stated, and you can read their bio. Not "medically reviewed" with no name attached.
Reviewers only review inside their scope
A physical therapist reviews motor, sensory, and rehabilitation content. A dentist reviews dental and oral content. A licensed counselor reviews mental and behavioral health content. None of them reviews another's.
Where a page falls outside all three — speech-language pathology, neurology — it carries an editorial byline with the sources named, and we say so plainly rather than borrowing a credential that doesn't fit.
We show our sources
Claims about what works, how common something is, or what a diagnosis requires are attributed. We check citations before publishing — including that the study says what it's cited as saying.
We don't publish numbers we can't source
If a statistic can't be traced to a primary source, it doesn't go on the page. We'd rather explain what determines something than publish a figure that's wrong for most readers.
We say when the evidence is weak
Plenty of widely recommended interventions have thin evidence behind them. We say so, including when it's inconvenient — and including when the intervention is one our own readers are already using.
We update when the science changes
Diagnostic criteria change. Guidelines get revised. Pages carry a last-updated date, and when a position changes we change the page rather than leaving the old version up.
What we won't do
- We don't promise outcomes. No page here will tell you a therapy will fix something.
- We don't diagnose. Nothing on this site substitutes for assessment by a qualified professional, and we say so where it matters most.
- We don't guarantee rankings to the clinics we list. Anyone in this industry promising that is overselling.
- We don't publish anything a named clinician hasn't reviewed without saying so. Where a page carries an editorial byline instead of a clinical one, that's stated on the page.
The directory
2,294 occupational, physical, and speech therapy clinics across the United States. Listings are free for families, always.
How it works: listings are compiled from publicly available information. Providers can claim their listing to add detail, collect reviews, and receive inquiries directly. Claimed listings are labeled Featured and appear first.
Being listed isn't an endorsement. We don't verify clinical quality, and we say so on every results page. Check credentials, licensure, and fit directly with any provider you're considering.

Expert Reviewers
Dr. Eva Lassey, PT, DPT
Eva holds a doctorate in physical therapy, with a background in how motor and sensory systems affect daily function across the lifespan. Her clinical scope spans sensory processing differences, motor coordination, neurological conditions, and rehabilitation — for children and adults.
She reviews the motor, sensory, and rehabilitation content on this site, and she's the lead author across the therapy and condition libraries.
Dr. Yana Pekarski, DDS
Yana is a Doctor of Dental Surgery whose practice focuses on making dental care workable for people who find it difficult — including patients with sensory processing differences, for whom a routine appointment can be genuinely hard.
She reviews the dental and oral development content, and works alongside occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists on the overlap between oral function, feeding, and airway.
Nicole Brewer, CPC, LCADC
Nicole is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor practicing in Nevada, a Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant, and the founder of reTHINK Therapy in Henderson. She is dually licensed to treat mental health and addiction, and works with trauma across children, teens, and adults.
She reviews the mental and behavioral health content — anxiety, trauma, behavioral regulation, child and family mental health, and substance use — including where those meet sensory processing and developmental conditions.
Corrections
If something on this site is wrong, tell us. Email hello@drsensory.com with the page and what's incorrect. We check it, and if it's wrong we fix it and update the page date.
That applies to clinicians too. If you're a professional and we've mischaracterized something in your field, we'd rather hear it than not.
