"TLC has been an absolute blessing for our family! We have been coming here for six months, and I cannot say enough good things about this practice. My daughter’s SLP, Maureen, is beyond amazing…her experience, dedication, and genuine care for my daughter go far beyond what I ever expected. She consistently goes above and beyond, even taking the time to research outside of our sessions to better understand my daughter’s complex diagnoses. It’s clear she has a true investment in her progress.

Maureen is warm, kind, and compassionate, and my daughter looks forward to her speech therapy sessions twice a week. She always keeps sessions fresh and engaging with different activities tailored to my daughter’s needs. Her communication with me is also unparalleled…I always feel informed and confident about how to support my daughter’s progress at home.

The owner, Lynn, is equally wonderful. She is so friendly and has been incredible with communication from day one. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt like family. My daughter has already made significant progress in these past six months, and while we know we still have a journey ahead, I feel such relief knowing she is receiving the absolute best care.

If you’re looking for a speech therapy practice that is truly invested in your child’s success, TLC is the place to go!"
