Clinical expertise, with a human touch
After years of personal and professional experience, I founded Sugarloaf Speech to help bring connection to the forefront of communication therapy. Kids are most motivated to grow when they feel valued, respected, and in a comfortable, natural environment. That’s why joyful, authentic interactions are at the heart of everything we do.
With our specialized expertise and flexible scheduling, your child will unearth renewed excitement and skills to communicate with confidence.

Mom of a late talker
"The amount of growth we’ve had in the past year is incredible. Sometimes I cannot believe that this is the same kid I brought in for speech therapy. He has gained so many new skills and is finally showing the world his personality. Lea has been patient, thoughtful, and so adaptable to anything my unpredictable toddler threw her way all while finding new ways to make him laugh.”
Parent of a Elementary Schooler
“Ms. Lea has been [my child]’s safe space for the last 5 months. She is actually excited to “play sound games” each week and to teach me and her siblings what she’s learned. We are SO SAD to graduate from speech this week but are so proud of all the work she’s accomplished.”
AAC success story
“As a mom of a nonverbal child, an educator, and a “not-techy” person, finding a professional who is not only knowledgable but willing guide us as we navigate the process of obtaining an AAC device has been so important. Lea’s knowledge in AAC and ability to coach us through our weekly check-ins have been so helpful in building our confidence in modeling for our child and advocating for him. ”
