Hello, Nice to meet you!

Speech Therapy Services
Articulation
Can you understand the production of your child’s speech sounds in their spoken expressions? Does your child have difficulty saying the R sound? Do you still hear a lisp that you thought they would grow out of? Our goal is to help increase overall speech intelligibility by focusing on the sound errors and patterns throughout your child’s speech.
Language
We help expand your child’s communication to better express self and their needs. Does your child grunt or scream to get your attention? Do you hope to hear them say, “mama” or “dada?” We provide guidance so you can understand your child’s needs, as well as therapy to increase your child’s comprehension of language so they can better follow your directions, pay attention to detail, and learn how to recall past information.
Cognitive
Problem solving, sequencing, cause and effect, etc.—these are all skills our children should demonstrate with age-appropriateness to survive the demands of everyday life in the tasks that they face at home, school and their communities.
Social-Pragmatics
Does your child have difficulty maintaining a conversation, taking turns, or paying attention to topics outside of their interests? Social communication is highly important in our society filled with peer to peer interactions and social relationships. Whether it’s virtual or in-person, being able to greet someone and demonstrate joint engagement is a huge part of our child’s developmental growth.
Feeding
It’s never too late to begin feeding intervention. What does it look like to have feeding issues?Does your child demonstrate highly picky behaviors that disrupt your family’s functional activities? Do you have sensory or oral concerns over your child’s feeding behaviors? You may have questions that we could help address to better facilitate a safe and effective feeding plan for your child to improve behavioral and environmental outcomes.
Fluency/Stuttering
There may be no “cure” for stuttering or dysfluent speech, but there are several different strategies and techniques you or your child can definitely and positively use to improve stuttering and move toward fluent speech. Don’t let anything hinder you from trying!
Accent Modification
We understand that practicing conversations in a social setting may seem like a daunting task. You might find yourself avoiding social opportunities with peers, or removing yourself from gatherings just so you don’t get asked to repeat yourself again and again. Improving the way you sound speaking English is not in how the word is spoken but how the word is produced, that is, how the tongue meets the teeth, lips or other structures of the mouth to pronounce sounds in the English language.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Spoken language may not be the primary means of communication for your child. If you would like to explore the different possibilities of nonverbal or assistive communication opportunities through the technologies available, let us guide you to reach the best suitable solution for your child.
Client Testimonials
Working with Tesia has been an absolute blessing for my family. My son was two years old and had not yet started speaking. We had taken him to a few speech therapists, but none of them were able to make any real progress. However, as soon as we started working with Tesia, my son’s speech began to improve rapidly! She was able to engage with him in a way that the other therapists could not and he loves being around her.
Michelle K – Dallas, TX
My family and I are so thankful that we found Ms. Tesia! Before her, we were desperately searching for a Korean speaking speech therapist in Dallas with no luck. As our household only speaks Korean, it was difficult to find someone who could understand our language. But with Ms. Tesia’s fluent Korean, she has been able to help my child make great improvement in his speech development. We are truly grateful for her help!
Julia K – Dallas, TX
When my daughter was 7 years old, she had a lisp. She was incredibly self-conscious about speaking around her friends and people and it broke my heart to see her struggle with it. That’s when I found Tesia, who was an amazing Speech Pathologist. With Tesia’s guidance, my daughter quickly improved and now speaks confidently. We are so grateful for Tesia!
