“My son absolutely loves his speech therapist, Alyssa. I feel so lucky we found such an amazing therapist for him.”

-Parent of a child in speech therapy
“Looking for the right therapist for your child can be hard, especially when you have high standards. I will admit, I'm pretty picky but I truly can't recommend Allyssa enough. She is a one-of-a-kind therapist! My son has made incredible progress, not only with his communication, but with his joint attention, play skills and confidence. He runs in and often times it's hard to get him to leave!

—Parent
" My daughter feels comfortable with her speech and OT therapists which was big for myself and her dad. They have tons of toys and a complete gym play area with tons of sensory items for the kids to work with. I’m so glad I found this place after being waitlist at several other places for 6+ months. Highly recommend give this place a call!”
