We Partner With
Evaluations
We provide comprehensive assessments for communication concerns using a combination of standardized and non-standardized measures. Our evaluations typically last one hour in duration as it is crucial for us to gather as much information, observations and data as we can related to the whole-individual to ensure appropriate and ethical diagnosis.
Group Treatment
We offer a variety of group treatment sessions related to turn-taking and language expansion for our youngest clients, social skills and perspective taking for our school-aged and adolescents, and even counsel driven approaches for neurodivergent individuals and their families.
IEP Consultations
Our team has a strong background in providing school-based speech and language services. We provide a high level of confidence and analytic to ensure you understand how your child's Individualized Education Plan (IEP) directly relates to their treatment sessions with us. We also ensure your child's IEP outlines their needs as appropriate based on our intervention plan and progress across sessions.
Treatment
Our treatment begins after an evaluation presents diagnostic criteria that warrants an intervention plan. For each client that we work with, we formulate an individualized plan of care to target short-term and long-term goals. During our sessions, we strive to use evidence based practices and honor each individuals' strengths and weaknesses in an effort to promote ongoing engagement and meaningful progress.
Parent & Family Coaching
In addition to our regularly scheduled treatment sessions, we offer 1:1 sessions focused solely on educating and coaching. We know that our treatment sessions do not allow enough time to teach our parents and families all there is to learn! We encourage our families to lean into our guidance and implement strategies into their daily lives for better quality of life with their loved ones.

Success Stories
Blair M., SLPA Student
"I would recommend Shaina to anyone who is new to the field of Speech Language Pathology and seeking guidance. She answers promptly, provides thorough information, and has excellent resources. She is seasoned in the field and helped me find a perfect placement to earn fieldwork hours for a SLPA license. I am from New Jersey and wanted to pursue a SLPA license in California. It was stressful trying to find people who could help me when I was not able to meet in person. Shaina communicated with me via Instagram and I landed an interview within the first week of following her suggestions. I was recently accepted into CSUN’s SLPA Fieldwork Program and am so excited to start. I owe a huge thanks to Shaina as she helped kickstart my career. For that, I will forever be grateful. She connected me with the right resources to make my dreams a reality and if you work with her you will not be disappointed!"
