Testimonials

"Cara is a fantastic speech therapist. She went above and beyond to help my son succeed, and we are forever grateful! My son entered B23 only saying a couple words and missing several of the early babbling sounds. Without a diagnosis or explanation, we as parents felt discouraged, and my son was frustrated because no one could understand him. Cara was so patient and reassuring through the whole process, and my son had so much fun working with her.  She was endlessly creative and thorough in coming up with ideas for him, activities for us to do in between sessions, and different avenues to gain clarity around his issues and rule out potential medical problems. She always considered a holistic approach to his wellbeing rather than looking at his speech in a vacuum, and I felt like she wanted to see him thriving just as much as we did.  Cara's natural ability to connect to my son and continually think outside the box were instrumental in the measurable improvements he made, and just one year later, he tested out of B23 speech services because he had achieved his goals and was talking at age level! The best part has been seeing his self-confidence soar and his true personality able shine through. He is no longer a quiet observer, but is outgoing and fully engaged in social activities. That is in big thanks to Cara. Her approach and skillset will be an asset to any client receiving her services!"  - R.J. (Birth-to-Three Parent)

"Cara is the best in the speech therapy field. She offers a variety of speech activities that are engaging and motivating for my son. She is able to teach my child very efficiently through play rather than the standard drilling and repetition often employed by other speech therapists. Cara is a total professional with respect to taking the time to understand the challenges my son has and to find tailored solutions specific for his needs. Our sessions are a highlight for my son and I can’t recommend her enough!"  - L.R. (CPSE/Preschool Parent)

"When we began our journey with B23, my daughter was 2 years old saying about 10 words. Life-changing moments began when Cara started to teach my daughter as a Speech Therapist; she was an angel sent from above. Cara's compassion, care, love, enthusiasm, encouragement, and easy-going personality are contagious, and she always has a big smile on her face.  She naturally understands the needs and perspectives of the children with whom she works and uses this knowledge to teach them most effectively. Meeting with Cara was something my daughter looked forward to. Within a few months, my daughter learned many words (she can say more than 250 words), started singing songs, playing puzzles, naming her body parts, making 2 word sentences, knowing her alphabet, numbers, shapes, colors, and much more. Cara is a true professional and was passionate about helping my child overcome her challenges.  If you are looking for an amazing speech therapist, Cara is the one to turn to; she built an amazing connection with my daughter. Unfortunately, after about 10 months of service, we had to move to another state due to my husband's job. I wish we were able to continue with Cara. I'm so grateful for everything she has done for my daughter.  She is a pro, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who's looking for a perfect speech therapist for their little one!" - T.A.

"When my mother had 3 strokes in 4 months during the COVID lockdown, we worried about her recovery. Cara came for her first visit, fully masked and happy to sit outside with us, and our spirits were immediately lifted. Since then, she has become an integral and beloved part of my mother’s weekly routine. We opt for Zoom so that we can see her dazzling smile and she can see my mother’s face. Her professional knowledge is boundless – she knows so many different exercises for my mother and offers helpful solutions and suggestions. But it’s her heart that makes the difference. She makes my mother laugh, and encourages her when she feels down. This skill isn’t something you learn. It’s a natural talent and would benefit anyone at any age." - S.A. (Patient's Daughter)

"My daughter, Avery started working with Cara in fall of 2020. Due to COVID and a lockdown, Avery was a little hesitant to restart speech therapy. As soon as Avery met Cara, she immediately eased those nerves and engaged our daughter in a way that was dynamic and fun. Avery looks forward to speech with Cara every week. She has made tremendous progress without even realizing that she is participating in a therapy session. Cara is amazing with children and easy to work with. She is a knowledgeable and a great communicator." - K.M. (CPSE/Preschool Parent)
