We are only ending our speech sessions because he is starting preschool next week But I know he is prepared and ready because of all the help and support from Ms.Cat and Erin.

My son currently attends this location for "speech therapy". However since December of 2025 i have…read morerequested a call back from the general manager, JAMIE ,regarding concerns I have as a parent & have been continuously over looked. Again I received a call that my son's therapist will be leaving the practice & in the meantime no times are available except 3pm on Wednesdays (they have his availability & know 3pm on Wednesdays would not work). Since February of 2026, his doctors have requested he receive an additional session be added since my son is non-verbal & every time I have followed up the response is "availability must remain open for other patients". CLARISSA, the scheduling "manager" who is very passive, informed me if i did not want to schedule my son for an incoming therapist in August (WE ARE IN APRIL) then i am more than welcome to have him discharged. Mind you, we drive an hour to take him to be able to receive this support & multiple times we have arrived & there is no therapist for him, or the session was "canceled". The lack of communication & opportunity for a child is extremely sad. 0/5 stars

I had had radiation and chemotherapy treatment for tongue cancer. I consulted with Katie Hoops of…read moreMonterey Bay Speech Therapy to get a second opinion on my swallow and jaw exercises. Ms. Hoops was very helpful and explained the reason for my exercises as well as emphasizing the importance of my continuing the exercises on a long-term basis. I have heeded her advice. While in consultation with Ms, Hoops I also learned that she had experience working with deaf children. My family had been haranguing me for years to get my hearing tested and the results concluded that I had moderate hearing loss, but not sufficient loss for a hearing aid. However, I was not fully informed of the consequences of my hearing loss or provided an explanation of my testing chart. I made an appointment with Ms Hoops to go over the results of the test, I brought in my charts (which were greek to me) and she explained the test results, informed me of the sounds that are now difficult for me to hear and gave me suggestions regarding "training" family members and friends about how best to ensure that I hear their words. I am very happy to have found Ms. Hoops and Monterey Bay Speech Therapy.

She incorporates each days lesson into play (which is wonderful for my 3 year old.) Each visit she has a new lesson for my son and always explains to me the purpose of working on each item and goal she is trying to achieve. She is patient and kind and my son absolutely adores her. He has made incredible progress since starting just 3 months ago. I am so thankful we found Jocelyn and would go nowhere else for speech services.

I had an incredibly upsetting and harmful experience with Jocelyn Lagier. She diagnosed my…read moredaughter, who was barely three years old at the time, with a severe speech disorder. Without my knowledge or consent, she sent this evaluation to the private school we were applying to--an action that directly resulted in my daughter being denied acceptance. This not only devastated us at the time but set off an entire year of emotional stress and confusion. Fast forward to a year later: after seeing multiple other speech therapists for second (and third) opinions, every single one has said the same thing--my daughter has no speech disorder. In fact, she doesn't even qualify for speech therapy at all. It's clear to me now that Jocelyn Lagier was more interested in keeping us on a path of ongoing, unnecessary therapy sessions--ultimately for financial gain. She was not warm, supportive, or collaborative. She did not listen to my concerns as a parent, and I truly believe she caused harm rather than helped. I'm writing this review because I don't want another family to go through what we did. If you're looking for a thoughtful, ethical, and child-centered speech therapist, I strongly suggest you look elsewhere. This was a deeply painful and frustrating experience, and one I wouldn't wish on anyone.

Marina Hedenberg is an amazing person that we happened to find back in 2014. Right from the…read morebeginning she did everything that I would've hoped for as a parent as I did hours and hours and hours of searching for the right child care for my daughter. I searched interviewed, and visited the various childcare facilities in the Monterey county area and was disappointed and frightened at some. She was very responsive and scheduled us to come and see her residence after all of the children were home. This told me that she took measures to keep the kids safe. While inside her residence her and her Family made me feel very welcome, gave me a packet of their curriculum, the schedule and gave me a background update about the years she's been working with children. She gave me all the information I needed to make a decision that same day but also insisted I go and do some more research to just verify that she was the right fit. And she was! Our daughter started her program the very next day and has been with her up until this year. Every day my daughter came home happy and told me all about the fun things they did throughout the day including learning the ABC's drawing math, reading books, playing in the outside play structures, making friends, naptime and puzzles. Whenever there was a misunderstanding with another student Marina was always available to answer my questions either via text or call or in person. Marina always made time to give me an update about my child's day which I very much appreciated as I know she was busy. Marina also is very responsible and was able to pick up and drop off most of the kids there and while she did not personally drive or take my daughter I knew that her and her staff that help her very responsible and communicative with all the parents whose children they were looking after. If you have children and want them in the best possible care in the Monterey County area my family and I highly recommend Marina because she takes care of all the kids as if they were her family.

We moved halfway through the school year in 2022 and no preschool was open to take us. I was…read moredevastated for my then 4 year old. By chance I learned of this secret gem co-op and was able to get a spot. This was my first experience in co-op and it was so much fun. And more importantly, was a wonderfully healing experience for me and my son (middle child who became a big-brother at the height of Covid.) Being in his class taught me how to be a better parent and gave me so many new strategies at home. Having the time together was very valuable to my son. Miss Kristen is beyond amazing with the children and extremely generous with her time, attention and love. Aside from everything I said above, the cost of this program is incredibly low and the financial savings we had from joining co-op helped off-set moving costs. It's an unbelievable value.

Would not recommend it!!!…read more Parenting classes are mandatory and a complete waste of time for an adult. So when it came to priorities it was an easy choice. We had a family member with a terminal illness and in the last weeks of their life, we chose to spend our evenings with them and missed a few "Parenting Classes" and were suspended. In the month before we talked about taking our child out of the class because of the constant coughing and runny noses in the classroom (to protect our family member and not have to wear a mask around them). Some kids were great and participated others just ran around and terrorized the other good kids. Some parents would get together right after school and talk while the kids played with hot wheels (usually 15 or 20 minutes), until we were asked to leave because the kids' sound bothered the school office's secretary.

Lauren has walked us through each step of occupational therapy with grace and confidence. Not once have I felt like I was being judged or that my child was in the wrong hands. Lauren is incredible with babies. Therasens works as a team when something comes up and we have had the opportunity to see that happen time and time again to help support the children in need. The front desk is organized, efficient, and helpful when needing to change appointments. Parents of children over 18 months are asked to stay in the waiting room, but because we have a baby, we are allowed to go in the back to watch each step of the process. (I'm sure exceptions can be made). During that time, I have observed nothing but kindness, compassion, and resilience from the therapists in Therasens. They work hard to provide children with the care they need. We are so grateful for Lauren and Therasens.
