  • Speech Therapy Assessment & Treatment

    Speech and language disorders can impact how we communicate, leading to misunderstandings, feelings of isolation, and even frustration-driven behaviors. Issues with speech often involve mispronounced sounds, which may arise from improper oral mechanics, negative habits, developmental delays, or anatomical concerns. Since every individual is unique, our speech therapy is tailored to fit your specific needs—there’s no one-size-fits-all solution!

  • Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy

    Orofacial myology focuses on correcting oral and facial muscle patterns that impact normal growth, development, and function. This therapy is essential for addressing issues related to speech, dental health, chewing, swallowing, and overall well-being. Common concerns include:

    • Unwanted oral habits like thumb or pacifier sucking

    • Cosmetic issues from facial muscle imbalances

    • Dental problems such as tongue thrust or incorrect tongue posture

    • Difficulties with biting, chewing, swallowing, and digestion

  • Feeding & Oral Motor Therapy

    Good nutrition is vital, but weak oral muscles can make eating and taking medication challenging for individuals of all ages. Whether it's a child who struggles with feeding from birth or an adult facing difficulties later in life, our therapy addresses issues with sucking, chewing, or swallowing. Symptoms like coughing, choking, or a runny nose while eating may indicate swallowing problems that we can help manage.

  • Cognitive/Neurological Assessment & Treatment

    Cognitive and neurological disorders can significantly affect communication. These issues may arise from conditions like dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, and Alzheimer’s, or from traumatic brain injuries due to accidents, sports injuries, or substance use. Our services include comprehensive assessments and tailored treatments to support cognitive and neurological health.

  • Early Childhood Development Services

    Babies are born with a developmental growth pattern that ideally continues through infancy. Variations in this pattern can range from mild to severe and impact areas such as oral-facial tone, symmetry, and overall function, which are crucial for feeding, speech, and language development. We also collaborate with other specialists, such as occupational and physical therapists, if we identify additional motor or sensory concerns.

  • Speech & Voice Audition Coaching Techniques

    Lights, camera, action! Whether you’re an aspiring actor, singer, or just looking to enhance your professional diction, our speech therapy support can give you the edge you need. We help clients prepare for auditions, improve their on-screen presence, and boost their chances of landing roles in commercials, sitcoms, and films. Let us help you shine in your next audition!

    M. Sims

  • "Our son has had a few speech therapists. We never really knew what was wrong with him but Alisa was able to not only help him but show, explain, and gave us examples and information on what he needed us to do to work with him. She was ADAMANT that we had to put in our time at home with him and when we did, his progress started happening immediately. She is tough and passionate but she was great at giving structure and getting our Ayden fixed."
