Speech therapy: developing the communication skills your child needs to thrive

Every child has something special to say. We make sure they have the skills to be heard.

Children learn best through play. Our sessions are hands-on and interactive — so your little one is engaged from the start. Through personalized speech, language, and feeding therapy, we support toddlers and young children with:

Concerns from late talking to autism spectrum disorders to feeding challenges, including picky eating
In-person sessions in New York City and online in New York State
Practical at-home strategies that keep momentum going
Collaborative care, sharing knowledge and insight with educators, specialists, and parents

Parent coaching: personalized guidance shaped around your family

If you’re up at night reading forums on what’s typical, have bought all the child development books, or are worried you’re overthinking it, you’re certainly not alone.

Imagine having an expert on hand instead. Someone who cuts through the noise and takes the guesswork out of the early years. That’s what Kat’s here for.

Online and fully flexible, parent coaching works around you. Share what your family needs, and together we’ll create a bespoke plan that supports your child’s development.

“Kat has been working with our son for nearly a year, starting when he was just shy of 2 years old. Since then, his language development and overall communication skills have progressed tremendously.

Kat is kind, patient, and incredibly nurturing, while also providing the structure and boundaries he needs to stay focused and successful during sessions. She has a wonderful ability to connect with children and make them feel supported and encouraged. She is a true professional, and we are so grateful for the impact she has had on our son’s growth. I can’t recommend her highly enough.”

“Kat has been wonderful to work with. She built strong relationships with both of our boys and quickly understood their individual strengths and needs.

Her sessions are engaging, thoughtful, and effective, and we’ve seen meaningful growth in their communication skills since working with her. She has also been a valuable resource for us as parents, providing practical guidance and support along the way.”
