Testimonials & Feedback

People we've helped

“I had the pleasure of working with Alyssa when she conducted a speech evaluation on our 4-year old son. She identified significant articulation issues and we began weekly private therapy sessions. Alyssa has been patient and kind in working through his initial reluctance. She is an experienced and devoted Speech Therapist who is very sensitive and compassionate to the needs of each child. She provides a fun, creative, and engaging approach toward speech therapy. She keeps us as parents well informed about each week's progress, and provides us with "homework" to reinforce the skills. In just a few short months, we have seen significant improvements in his intelligibility! And more importantly, he is excited and proud of all his progress!!” -MS

“Our family is so happy that Alyssa came into our lives. Having a 6 year old with autism, we’ve worked with many therapists over the years. Our son smiles when he sees her and asks for her when she isn’t there, which is something that had never happened with his other therapists. Aside from her impressive knowledge and professional skill set, we know that she truly cares about and loves our son. We have gained a comfort and rapport that we weren’t able to establish in the past. We are so thankful to have found such a great speech therapist!” –SN
