Wholehearted Pediatric Speech Therapy
Communication improves when connections are formed. As a Speech-Language Pathologist, I work to help my patients, students, and clients grow into more successful communicators and develop deeper connections with those around them. Our approach is play-based, child-lead and sensory-friendly therapy that develops intrinsic motivation allowing your child’s communication skills to flourish in a safe and fun environment.
How It Works
Step 1
Schedule a complimentary phone consultation. In this 15-minute call you can tell us about your child and learn about our services.
Step 2
Schedule a speech and language evaluation to determine your child’s strengths and areas of growth so we can develop a treatment plan.
Step 3
Schedule weekly therapy sessions in our clinic, at your child’s school or over Telehealth.

Testimonials
“We appreciate Ms. Theresa so much and can never thank her enough for everything she did for our son. ‘Every child deserves a voice. Thank you for giving me mine.’”
(Mother of four-year-old child)
“Theresa has been my son’s therapist for years. I have done nothing but watch him flourish in her care. Theresa is kind, compassionate and caring. She treats her clients as if they were family. But most importantly you're leaving your child in very capable hands regardless of diagnosis. You will never have to think twice in regard to making the right decision. Having a child is difficult on its own, but having a child with needs is definitely a little extra, Theresa finds ways to make things easier, she will go that extra mile for you.”
(Mother of Young Adult Client)
“It was not only an honor to work with Ms. Theresa, but also to observe her strong insightfulness. It was clear working with Ms. Theresa that her experience with children was expansive as well as intuitive.”
(Former Therapy Aide)
