Testimonials
We can't thank Emily enough for her support and guidance as we've entered the world of gestalt language processing. She has been a beautiful support to my child and to me and I really appreciate her knowledge of gestalt language processing, and her neurodiversity-affirming approach. She is sensitive and kind and honors neurodiversity naturally. I would absolutely recommend her. -M.W.
“From the start myself and my child felt comfortable with Emily. She has changed my child’s life and we look forward to our meetings. She is nonjudgmental and it is obvious that she wants your child to succeed. My child now understands how to pronounce sounds and words that were not able to be said in the past.” -Bethany T.
“Emily treats the child as the client. She really works with who she is helping and creates a true rapport. It's the personalized approach in knowing who my daughter is that has made all the difference. We have tried other speech therapists before as well and Emily is the best fit. She's invested in the outcome for my child. It is obvious how qualified Emily is with speech therapy. We additionally appreciate her ability to be a part of our 'village'. She has been such an asset in our lives through her care and support.” -Darcy S.
