Telehealth Sessions

For clients living outside my travel radius, I offer telehealth services across California. Working solely on telehealth for a portion of the pandemic, I got to see how surprisingly effective online sessions were.

Even my youngest clients are able to engage and learn effectively. I use a variety of motivating strategies to find what works for each individual.

Kid's speech therapy online telehealth

  • "Our son excitedly awaits each session with Ms. Alyssa. On days when he does not have therapy, he specifically asks for her to come over and play. This is the best part of Ms. Alyssa's approach. Our son has no idea he's receiving therapy. He thinks he's just having fun! We absolutely recommend Leap Speech to any parent."

    -Parent N.

  • "We are so thankful we were able to find Alyssa to work with our 5 year old son. She is truly the best professional we have worked with in our journey to help our son communicate better. She is extremely engaging and playful - willing to go swimming or jump on a trampoline for an hour if that is what engages her client. She is so understanding and accepting during hard moments. She works across techniques and has helped our son vocalize more as well as gain confidence in his communication device. She is happy to collaborate with other professionals, stay longer to provide advice to parents, and flexible in working in whatever environment helps our son. Unfortunately, we have to move and she will be the greatest loss in the process."

    ★★★★★

    -Parent D.

  • "I'm really impressed with how naturally she is able to incorporate the sounds we are practicing. Our daughter actually looks forward to her visits, which is amazing since in the past she would shut down and even try to hide from speech therapists. We feel really lucky to have found Alyssa and are optimistic about the amount of progress our daughter is making after just a few months! To top it off, she sends appointment reminders and has an automatic payment system so I don't have to remember to pay invoices, making the whole experience much easier!"

    ★★★★★

    -Parent R.

  • "If you're looking for an experience that helps both you and your child grow, look no further. Alyssa is great! She has helped us, as parents, learn and better understand how to communicate with our son, allowing us to connect with him in a much better way. Her gentle and understanding approach to teach him how to use his words to communicate to us what he needs, wants and ultimately wants to do next makes us glad we found Alyssa! Strongly recommend!"

    ★★★★★

    -Parent T.

  • "Alyssa has been working with my 5 year old niece for several months and we quickly noticed a difference in her speech! She’s flexible and able to work around our busy schedule. We highly recommend her!"

Payment

  • Leap Speech is a private pay provider. Therefore, I do not accept insurance payments directly. However, as an out-of-network provider, I am happy to provide a superbill upon request. Parents have the option of submitting a superbill to their insurance company to request partial reimbursement.

  • Private pay is accepted through credit cards, debit cards, and health savings accounts (HSA).

  • Leap Speech is also a San Diego Regional Center (SDRC) provider. My provider number is #PY2923
