I didn't realize this wasn't an option, so now I am posting this "update" to review Speech Therapy Services separately. :) We currently see Miss Laura for speech therapy weekly and she has been wonderful. One of my children is very moody and has some behavior concerns - especially when working with new people. Laura has always been so patient, understanding, firm and predictable, but also fun and appreciative of the comedy that happens when working with children! My child was reluctant at first to transition to her as a new provider, but now he looks forward to his sessions - even stating in the car "No - wrong way!" when we pass by to get to other destinations when it isn't our therapy day. That is a good sign. My child began speech therapy in another state at a young age, so Laura is our 4th or 5th SLP now. Even with an early diagnosis, Laura is the one who had the insight and the drive to put in the work and get approval for him to have a speech device provided and paid for through his insurance and it has been life-changing for him, and for those who work with him and take the time to learn to use the device. This has made a huge difference in his ability to access the community, interact with family, and sharpen his social skills at school and with peers. We are very grateful. We were one of the first clients for Desert Peak, and things run so smoothly at this clinic, we had no idea that they were brand new as a business at the time. With multiple children who have multiple therapies, scheduling can be a nightmare, but at Desert Peak, we have been very blessed to be accommodated. Our family highly recommends Desert Peak Therapies for Speech services - especially as their practice grows. If you are looking for a quality clinic with people who care about you and your child's best outcomes from the moment of intake this is the place to come. Thank you Desert Peak Therapies!

Outstanding experience! Yvonne Katsuyama is a true angel. This review is long overdue as my son…read moreworked with Yvonne from October 2021- October 2022. Back when my son was at his 5 y/o annual well check-up, I mentioned to his Kaiser pediatrician that I had concerns my son's speech was not where it should be. The doctor referred us to their Speech and Language Dept. where, after a formal assessment, it was determined that my son could benefit from Speech Therapy. Kaiser then gave us a long (and I mean long) list of vendors to reach out to. After calling multiple vendors in the area, only to have them tell me that they had waitlists upwards of 40, I was both desperate and hopeful that Yvonne would be available. I did not want to have to wait weeks, if not months, to get my son started. He was just starting kindergarten, and I did not want him to struggle socially or emotionally due to his speech. I left Yvonne a voicemail and she called me back soon after to inform me that she was able to take us on. Since both of our schedules were very busy and it was still somewhat during the pandemic (2021), we ended up booking Zoom sessions. I was skeptical at first about how practical and effective Zoom would be, but our first session quickly proved that it was going to work. Yvonne is super fun, patient, and efficient. She uses engaging and colorful games that my son immediately took to. He always looked forward to his weekly speech sessions because Yvonne always had something new and exciting to work on. I enjoyed watching her interact with my son as she was often genuinely enthused by his recap of his school day or weekend plans. She leads with positive reinforcement and gives a very helpful summary to the parents at the end of each session. We were given realistic tasks each week of what we (as a family) could be helping our son with daily. Nothing ever seemed too far reaching. Yvonne was very communicative and accessible via phone and email. There were times we had to reschedule, and she was always so kind in helping to find another time that worked in our busy schedules. Yvonne also worked collaboratively with my son's school Speech-Language Pathologist. In the weekly Zoom sessions, Yvonne worked on both her own goals as well as those summarized from his school. It was very comforting to know that our son was getting the best of the best. I cannot say enough great things about Yvonne without making her sound too good to be true. My son was so sad to learn that he was graduating from speech therapy after one year with Yvonne. He felt so empowered after each 30-minute session. My husband and I noticed that our son eventually self-corrected his speech, and would proudly announce to us that he was doing so. Yvonne is incredibly hardworking and cares deeply about her profession. It is amazing how quickly our son's speech improved within just one year. Yvonne will always hold a special place in our hearts. THANK YOU, YVONNE!

I only have the best things to say about Katelynn and Myer's Speech and language therapy. We were…read moreintroduced to Myer's Speech through a referral. I strongly feel that we were led to Katelynn for a purpose and a reason and now I see why just in the growth Fox has made. Our son Fox doesn't always open up to people or is comfortable with those he is unaware of or hasn't met before. He quickly began to trust Katelynn as she gave him the space and time to do so. The first time we met Kayelynn we were greeted with so much compassion and her desire to help Fox was refreshing. She is so patient, kind, organized and willing to truly find ways to support Fox in his development. The difference that we see in Fox in these last three months is phenomenal. Thanks again Katelynn, we truly do appreciate you and see you as a part of our family.
