Meet the Owner
Valerie Solis, M.S., CCC-SLP
Hi, I’m Valerie! I’m a licensed speech-language pathologist with over 15 years of experience helping children find their voice through fun, functional, and meaningful therapy. As a therapist-owned and operated practice, I understand both the needs of children and the professionals who serve them.
I founded this business with a simple mission: every child deserves access to quality therapy—even during times of nationwide SLP shortages. I’m passionate about supporting school districts and families while also creating a positive, respectful environment where therapists are valued and empowered.
When we care for our therapists, they can better care for the kids who need us most.
