For the last few years, working with Everyday Language Co. meant working directly with me. That’s changing — I want to tell you why, and what stays exactly the same.
Why We’re Growing
Throughout my years working as an SLP in Brooklyn, I’ve worked hard to build a practice within my community and its neighborhoods. I’m so proud to see how far Everyday Language Co. has grown and how it’s made a positive difference. As a result of this growth, demand has outpaced one clinician’s caseload, which means families are waiting longer than they should for an evaluation.
I love serving families, but this is also the season where I am growing my own family. I want to reach more of you without sacrificing quality, or the in-home model – and bringing on new clinicians is the best way to do that.
This was not a hasty decision. After careful, deliberate consideration, I knew that this was the natural next step for my practice. And now, I feel more confident than ever that we can reach more families in the area with the same care and attention that I’ve been able to provide for years.
What’s Staying the Same
After so many years building this practice, it’s incredibly important to me that the clinical philosophies and standard of care are the same across every clinician. Rest assured that every new clinician will be trained directly by me on Everyday Language Co.’s approach to feeding, language, and complex cases.
It’s also important to note that we will continue to provide home-based sessions and stay Brooklyn-focused and relationship-driven.

What This Means for Your Family
What I’m most excited for about this development is that we’ll be able to access more families in Brooklyn. This means shorter wait times for evaluations and openings! Of course, we will continue to thoughtfully match you to the right clinician for your child’s needs.
Overall, this new step will provide the same level of care expected with Everyday Language Co.’s standards, just with more capacity.
The Next Step
I understand that this transition might invite more questions than the ones I have answered here, so please feel free to reach out with any you might have. I’ll be more than happy to give you all the information you need to feel as comfortable as possible.
If you’re a new family or parent interested in scheduling an evaluation, you can schedule a quick 15-minute consult call here, and we can get started!
I’m so excited to start this new journey together!
