How can we help you?
We were founded by a speech-language pathologist and mental health advocate. We want to collaborate with you to help you reach your goals because we understand how important communication is for overall health and quality of life.
The foundation of meaningful therapy is a strong partnership. We bring the clinical and research expertise. You bring the expertise on yourself (or your child) and what works for you. Together, we can empower you with the knowledge, insight, and communication skills to live your best life.
