Inspired Communication for Unique Minds
California, and Oregon
Our Specialized Approach
Adolescent & Young Adult Focus
The journey through adolescence and transition to adulthood requires a unique set of communication tools. We specialize in this demographic, utilizing a unique ability to engage with and motivate them to improve their communication skills.
Research-Driven & Narrative Focus
Rooted in Dr. Wallace’s doctoral research and professional experience, our practice places a heavy emphasis on incorporating narrative intervention across all types of speech-language therapy goals. Whether working on articulation, social communication, or receptive/expressive language, we use storytelling as the foundational vehicle for progress. This approach fosters cohesive communication, improves linguistic complexity, and enhances the ability to organize thoughts.
Our Core Philosophies
Neurodiversity Affirming
We celebrate different ways of thinking and communicating. We don't "fix" neurodivergence; we support the individual in achieving their self-defined goals.
Trauma-Informed
We recognize the impact of past experiences on communication and safety, ensuring every session is grounded in trust and emotional security.
Client & Family Centered
We work as a team. Therapy is a collaborative journey where the client’s values and interests, and the family’s needs guide every milestone.
Narrative-Centered
We believe that the most effective way to address speech and language goals is through the lens of the individual’s own story. By focusing on individualized storytelling, we help clients build skills based on topics that are personally relevant, which significantly increases motivation and allows for the carry-over of progress with all types of speech-language skills into their everyday lives.
