My 3-year-old daughter worked with Ms. Abril for six months, focusing on improving her expressive language. Each session was incredibly personalized. From the very first meeting, when my daughter immediately felt comfortable and jumped into Ms. Abril's lap, it was clear we were in the right place. Ms. Abril excels at allowing children to lead and building on their language. Furthermore, she provided valuable insights into our daughter's language processing style and offered practical guidance on how to support her language development at home. We are extremely impressed with the quality of speech therapy provided and are very thankful to have been referred to Tulips Speech Therapy on Union St. read more

We had such an amazing experience with Tulips! Highly recommend this practice - their therapists and truly top notch. A huge special shout out to Madison - she's been absolutely incredible with our 2.5 year old and goes out of her way to make each and every session engaging, thoughtful, and meaningful! We can truly feel her passionate for this field! Our kiddo typically gets weary in new settings and new people, but he is always absolutely ecstatic to go to Tulips and see Madison. We've seen so much development in his speech since he's started! Thank you to this amazing team :) read more

My son started at 3 years old, and has been here for over 6 months. Before he could barely string one let alone two words together. But now he regularly speaks 3 to 4 words at a time. He would also throw many tantrums due to his inability to communicate, but his behavior has improved in that area as well and he can express his emotions more clearly. I would highly recommend tulips for any parent that has a child who is speech delayed. As a parent tulips will give you the tools to help your child develop their speech, but it is on the parents to follow throw on the game plan to help their child. read more

I have a 4 year old son that was struggling in preschool. It was difficult for the other children to understand him. This made it difficult to make friends and would often play by himself (heartbreaking for a mom to see). We have been seeing Ms. Lara for a few months now. She is absolutely amazing and has helped by son tremendously. He is talking clearly and all the kids at school and teacher can understand him. I am happy to see that his work at TuLips is showing at school and improving his language and social skills. I would recommend tuLips to anyone and everyone in need of speech therapy. Their staff is amazing, appointments always run on time and the therapists include the caretakers in the work. Feels like being apart of the best team for your kid. read more

I'm deaf and mainstreamed, which means I can't hear despite living in a hearing world. Since I can't really hear myself talk, I need speech therapy to ensure that my speech is understandable and crisp. Maggie and team were especially helpful and thorough in making sure that my speech was clear and understandable. I came in a few years ago with pretty poor speech after years of not going to speech therapy. The Tulips team spent over a year helping me rebuild my fundamentals and now I go in every few weeks for tuneups. They've allowed me to be more confident and thrive in a hearing world. Really appreciate them. Tulips is great for kids (obviously!) but also great for adults too! read more

The team from TuLlips is fabulous. Our son received feeding therapy as well as many years of speech. The team was always professional, on time, helpful and cared deeply for our child's development. Handled all insurance interactions. GREAT. read more

I had a horrible experience with Tulips Speech Therapy. I had reached out to them for adult sessions since they were in my neighborhood. From the start their communication, billing and scheduling system was unorganized. Essentially, I spent $260 on a half hour session that resulted in a typed assessment. I've since found a highly effective group who also offers remote speech therapy sessions with great customer service, ease and affordability. Lesson learned- do your research before committing. My 30 min was spent with Abril and she was a nice gal. read more

We were advised to start speech therapy when my son wasn't meeting his milestones after age 2. Tulips was one of the few agencies doing in-person therapy in Spring 2020. We started working with Dani and she has been so great! She isn't afraid to tell me what I need to know and developed a good relationship with my son. As a bonus, she is very knowledgeable and helped me understand the process of evaluations, the regional centers, other potential therapies and issues. I was feeling lost between pediatricians and various other agencies including the school district. She has helped coordinate with our other contacts. I trust her and would recommend Tulips to any parent! We plan to continue with her. read more

Highly recommend Tulips Speech Therapy. We worked with Dani, and she did magic. Our boy is very shy, but she was able to open him up, and he started speaking more. At first, he said only a few words, then word combinations, now he speaks in sentences! Truly impressed with Dani's approach and methods. We are so proud of his progress! The sessions are play-based, highly interactive and fun! read more

As one of Tulips' adult clients who stutters, I can confidently say that working with Maggie and the team has been an incredible experience. Maggie and the tulips team take a highly customized and compassionate approach to speech therapy and are experts in not only the mechanical aspects of speaking but the psychological and social elements as well. I had tried other speech therapists previously but none of them have been as effective as Maggie. I highly recommend them for other adults and working professionals who are looking to improve their fluency. read more

We recently started with Tulips Speech and we are truly impressed. Both our 3 year old and 6 year old boys absolutely love speech therapy. The therapists have found a way to make online speech super fun, engaging, and productive. Highly recommend!! read more

We started working with Maggie at Tulips after our son had a brain injury and lost his ability to speak. Maggie picked up effortlessly from where the in-patient speech therapist left off and continued making great strides with our son. Plus, she made an instant connection with him and was a natural in making him feel at ease. Maggie was available and accessible to speak outside of therapy sessions to strategize about the next session or help with assessments. We highly recommend Maggie and tuLIPS. We're so grateful for their support and work with our son. read more

We couldn't be happier with the progress our son has made since he started sessions with Dani. We saw almost an immediate improvement, and though he deserves credit for working hard and doing his practices, it's Dani who has brought all this out with him. She's great at communicating with both our son and us. read more

In August of this year ('16), I called Tulips and request a first visit for speech therapy for my little girl. I called to make sure that they were in network with Blue Shield, and made sure to ask that this would cost the same as my daughter's other regular speech appointments. I was told, "yes". I called Blue Shield and verified. I decided to go with another SLP after 1 appointment. To my great surprise, Tulips called me recently to tell me that I owed them $197.00 for a half-hour appointment. Not at all the $45 co-pay I had been paying for every other SLP appointment since I started using this insurance. After some digging, I found out that Tulips submitted to Blue Shield a claim for diagnostic testing, rather than a regular office appointment. Diagnostic testing is an unusual coding to provide for this service. And way more expensive. I was never consulted, nor told that this first appointment would involve any diagnostic testing. And to this date, I have received no paperwork or information regarding the results of this test. So I am led to believe that they submit for payment this way to get more money. If you provide a certain service, I am okay with paying for it. But, this is with the clear understanding that 1) I know beforehand what i'm paying for and 2) that if anything unusual is being billed, I would be told before services are rendered. Instead, what has happened is blackmail. Clear and simple. I am being told that if I do not pay Tulips the fee they want, they will send this to collections and that my credit will be ruined. This is a direct quote. "Do you know what will happen? This will go on your credit report and your credit will be ruined. That's what is going to happen if you don't pay your bill. Is that worth it? Now I've spent enough time talking with you about this. If you want some creditor in Kansas to call you, then that is your choice." As a parent to a special-needs child with limited resources and income, who simply want consistent speech therapy for her daughter, and honest service from my provider, I feel totally backed up against the wall. I have been treated by Tulips as if I am some deadbeat who never pays her bills and am out to cheat them. The kind of rhetoric being used has been abusive and insulting. This could have been resolved prior to the appointment if Tulips had told me what they intended to bill. I would have been given the choice to decide if I was willing to pay for this expense, or cancel. Their reasoning has been: we can't know what every policy out there will charge. I must disagree. There is a big difference between diagnostic testing and office visit. So, Tulips would know that they are charged and billed differently. On principle, I had to make the choice to decline paying Tulips' fee with a heavy heart knowing that I will, in the end, pay a heavier price in credit score points. I declined, not because they are charging an outrageous amount for 30 minutes of time. But because I was never consulted before the appointment. read more

Went to Tulips as an adult having difficulties speaking in public (i.e., running out of breath, weak voice, and voice shaking). Discovered that I was holding my breath and not using breath support when speaking. I worked with Maggie and Natalie for a couple of months (over Zoom) to address this. Super helpful! read more

My father in law is recovering from a stroke and we took him to Tulips for an evaluation session after his discharge from acute rehab. I would not recommend Tulips for stroke recovery and adult therapy. Having spent a lot of time with therapists over the past few months, my family has developed a fairly good sense of what makes a good speech therapist for stroke patients. Empathy, slow enunciation of words, clear speech (no umms, uhs), short sentences are recommended. We found this lacking in the therapist's approach. Few other issues - 1. The therapist did not take the effort to know or address my FIL by his name. 2. The evaluation / first session is meant to also build confidence in the family to continue work with the therapist - I expect that from anyone I'll be paying money to for a service. She just asked a few sporadic questions, tried a few techniques. No introduction, no prepared structure to explain her experience, no explanation of why she would be the best person for help in regaining the patient's speech abilities, no prepared list of questions for us. 3. We had scheduled a 45 min session, but we reached 10 mins late. Considering this was the first session and his first time leaving the house since the stroke, I expected some more empathy and effort. The session was cut short exactly at 30 mins, saying she has another session, later realizing the next patient hadn't arrived. Still made no offer to continue the session for another 15 mins. Very disappointing. read more

Dani did such a great job with my son George. Within 10 sessions she helped him work through and really understand what was happening when he dropped his "Rs" in words. I was really proud of the progress and how they worked together. Really great job. Thank you. read more

My youngest needed speech therapy according to her dentist because she was pushing her teeth against her tongue and pronounced some sounds and words incorrectly. I put it off for 4 years (I know so bad) as I didn't know how to get speech therapy or where to start. Tulips made it so easy and my insurance was reimbursing me, which I did not expect. Paying for speech therapy was one reason I put it off. This place is excellent and has been easy and painless. Yay! The dentist won't yell at me next month. I finally did it because Tulips made it easy and they are a great team. read more

We cannot say enough amazing things about Tulips Speech Therapy! Our now 3-year old twin boys worked with Maggie for just over a year and she truly transformed them into little speaking machines! When Maggie started with us, our boys only said about 20 words. Now, they are having full conversations and asking so many questions. Best of all, Maggie is just the sweetest person and so obviously loves and cares for children. Each week, our twins couldn't wait to see Maggie. We highly recommend Tulips (and Maggie and the team)! read more

Maggie is the best speech therapist for adults! It's very hard to find a speech therapist that has a lot of experience in helping adults, which is why I am so happy I found her. I came to her because I am in sales and have found my stutter to get in the way of doing my job to its fullest capacity. I came to Maggie with a lot skepticism, but during our first session she pin pointed what the problem was and it has been uphill ever since. She is incredibly trustworthy and knowledgable. I have no doubt her expertise is guiding me in the right direction. I urge all adults who may have some insecurities about their speech to see Maggie. (Not to mention she is so much fun and makes all sessions feel like you're talking to a friend, not a stuffy old speech therapist) read more

My son, who is on the autism spectrum, has been going to Tulips Speech Therapy for the past three years. He went from being non-verbal to speaking full sentences - a huge testament to the amazing speech-language pathologists at Tulips. Maggie and Dani, the owners, are amazing and they hire wonderful people. The Tulips staff like Elisabeth are beautiful inside and out - professional, personable and more importantly, they truly care about all their clients. I highly recommend Tulips for anyone who needs speech therapy. read more

Hession one day decided my son should see a different therapist the following week as she had gotten work in the school district, There was no real discussion or anything. We decided to seek speech therapy for our son elsewhere. We ask for a report or any information on his progress while with Hession, she never provided anything. UPDATE- The review is 2017 but its a few years before that, when we brought our son to Hession. We continually asked for progress reports, so it absolutely couldn't be the first people are hearing about it. We never received them. I sincerely doubt that we could obtain them now. Either way at this stage they would be irrelevant. read more

We drive all the way from Novato to come to Speech once a week with Dani because it's so worth the investment. The growth we have seen in my son's speech over the past year is remarkable and we couldn't be more pleased. Dani and all the therapists really take the time to get to know you and your child on an intimate level. They are easy to talk to, warm and friendly yet get down to business in a serious way too. Couldn't recommend this place more! read more

I've been going to Dani Trapani for over 7 months now, coming multiple times a week. I come to train my cochlear implant for hearing and speech therapy, which is more than normal for a speech therapist to take on. Dani is personable, smart and dedicated. She gets me up on my down days and keeps me motivated while keeping the environment fun. She also has great direction for when I make a new step in my progress and I feel confident following her. The resulting progress thus far has absolutely changed my life. I can't wait to see my continued progress in the future. Love the team at TuLips! read more

A wonderful friendly place. Great at what they do and make me feel comfortable. Thank you tuLIPS!

tuLIPS Speech Therapy is great. Their office is adorable and it is very easy to book an appointment. They are professional, warm, and effective. Most people think of speech therapy for children, but at tuLIPs, they work with adults as well. Some conditions they treat are Parkinson's, stuttering, transgender vocal training, and stroke recovery. If you have a need for speech therapy, I highly recommend them! read more

I found out at 24 that I had been swallowing the wrong way my whole life and consequently had derailed my entire first round of orthodontics and would have to suffer through getting braces again. The only way to ensure that this round would even be worth it was to do speech therapy for something I had never heard of but apparently had called a " tongue thrust." Hession was incredible throughout this whole process. She helped me to really understand the issue and gave me fun and effective exercises to do to fix it. I am about to finish up a whole course of braces in about ten months when my orthodontist had assured me it would take at least 18 to 24 months. My orthodontist was shocked that my bite was correcting so quickly and said that this never could have happened if it wasn't for Hession's amazing work! I can't recommend Hession highly enough! She is so supportive, caring, and competent and sees the clients that she works with and their families as people rather than just patients. She made an experience that had the potential to be very difficult much more manageable and fun even and was instrumental in fixing this issue that would have caused me issues for the rest of my life! I am so lucky to have found her and would recommend her to individuals of all ages struggling with any kind of speech therapy issue! read more

Hession helped our 5 year old son address some tongue position problems that affected his ability to pronounce S's and other sounds. She brought a very thoughtful and efficient approach. Hession made him feel very comfortable and encouraged him in a way that empowered and inspired him to self-correct which lead to much faster results than we expected. Her office is very peaceful and we particularly appreciated her enthusiasm and joy with our child in a quiet setting. He never saw this as "therapy". We would strongly recommend Hession for any family looking for help with any speech issues. read more

Hession Hogan is an excellent speech therapist. She worked with both of my boys and we were very pleased with the progress and her honesty. She has a wonderful way of connecting to children and is very perceptive and knows how to engage with them. She is also a very nice person and such a pleasure to work with... which is a bonus. She is very talented and I can not recommend her enough! read more

My (now) ten year old son went to TuLips (Union Street location) on a weekly basis for about a year to address some mild pronunciation issues. The teachers there were great, and now one could not tell that he ever had any issues. The business is very professional and responsive, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for speech therapy. read more

THERE'S HOPE!!! This was our third speech therapist and our son, Connor, has made significant progress. We had no idea that he struggled with a tongue thrust and how correctable his speech delay was. It was such a relief after a six year struggle trying to find the right "fit'. Maggie was our therapist and she is a warm and intelligent professional that made a genuine effort to understand Connor and help him to succeed. We have made the trek from Novato once a week for the past year and I am so grateful that we did! Connor now is self-correcting and has all the tools in his toolbox to continue to strengthen his tongue muscle on his own. This was not only a physical transformation but an emotional one-I have witnessed my son's growth and boost in confidence under Maggie's care. The sister-duo, Maggie & Hession, are fun & vibrant. They will listen and build a RELATIONSHIP with you and your child. Furthermore, there facility is beautiful, inviting and trendy. *Tulips takes Tri-West, so for any military families, don't take no for an answer-its well worth the insurance head-ache.* read more

I'll start by saying that I really give credence to what other parents think of providers and activities for their children which is why I feel compelled to share my experience at tuLIPS, specifically with Hession Hogan. I was at a loss when I realized that my 8-year old had a lisp and pronounced the letter "s" as more of an "sh" and had a mouth full of metal with a new Hyrax expander and front braces brackets. I was completely assured with only one meeting with Hession that this too can be remedied and that the time to address it is NOW. My daughter enjoyed her visits with Hession immensely and said it didn't feel like therapy at all. The take-home worksheets were helpful and easy to incorporate in every day life. The documentation tuLIPS provided was essential in helping her educators understand the diagnosis and aid in her correct pronunciation at school. Now that the orthodontia is gone my daughter is excited to continue seeing Hession who makes it fun to learn and speak clearly. I recommend this group of professionals to anyone who wants compassionate speech therapy! read more

Hession was everything I was looking for. I was not sure where to begin when looking for a speech therapist and was referred to her by my pediatrician. My daughter has made tremendous progress and is now caught up on her language. I highly recommend her. Not only was she great with my daughter but she was also a pleasure to interact with! read more

My 2-year-old daughter has been seeing Maggie Hogan for the last ~6 weeks to help with her speech intelligibility, and I have been absolutely floored at my daughter's progress, due to her "play dates" with Maggie. The first speech therapist we were assigned (at a different provider) wasn't comfortable helping with my daughter's stutter, so we were re-assigned to Maggie. She stepped in quickly and started the following week, and she gave me different advice on how to address the stutter, which worked! The previous provider's advice did not seem to be helping, and Maggie had a different approach which resulted in the stutter disappearing. I'm not there for the sessions, and Maggie has been clear and instructive in emailing me updates and instructions on how to reinforce the work at home. The improved communication between my daughter and our family has made life so much better for us. I can't believe how rapid my daughter's progress has been in such a short span of time; I'm looking forward to seeing her continued growth and development. read more
