The receptionist Melissa makes my son always feel heard and valued! She really understands these kiddos and has no judgement and has more patience than I DO for my rowdy kiddo who HATES waiting for his appointment to start! Her lived experience as a fellow momma of a neurospicy kiddo makes her such an asset to the families that come through here! The other reviews on here surprised me about the receptionist because I feel nothing but acceptance, peer support and no judgement from her every week since we started coming here! She gets it and is ALWAYS hard at work and STILL makes conversation when I won't STOP talking her ear off. Gift of speech is a blessing to us in Stockton where services are scarce for our kiddos who have needs that this local community can't always meet. Now if they would just open an Occupational Therapy clinic next........... The gift of OT perhaps?

First off I have only experienced great things with this group of people. Melissa has been…read moreEXTREMELY helpful and has guided me and pointed me in the right direction and gave me some advice on what worked and didn't work.

I definitely recommend.

I have been taking my son here for 2 yrs now and he looks forward to coming each time. Ms. Adriana…read moreis super patient and works great with kids. She listens to his challenges and creates a program that works for him. There has been great progress with my son's speech over the years. Family & friends have all noticed the improvement and I plan to keep going as it's only going to help him more. As a parent, I tried my best to teach him but having a speech therapist help really makes a difference. We are given resources that can be practiced at home which is great. The office is also friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for a speech therapist don't hesitate to come here and ask for Ms. Adriana!

As a language learner, I appreciate Dr. Shannon's sensitivity and passive knowledge of Chinese. As someone who reads a lot, she is also well read and can follow my ideas.

When I came to Dr. Wong Lerner, I needed help with my speech for the purpose of my work, and to develop my career. But I gained so much more. Dr. Wong Lerner conducted a very thorough evaluation of my speech to start, and then a couple of weeks later went over an "Accent spectrum" report that had all of the areas of speech that needed attention. What impressed and still impresses me about Dr. WL's expertise of speech, working with ESL people, and language (she has a passive knowledge of Chinese and some other languages) is that she knows so much in so many different areas. But also, it's the way she makes me feel safe and comfortable with this process of re-learning English for my job and my personal growth that would have otherwise been very difficult for me. And was difficult. I have already shifted my speech from a very closed mouth and not being able to pronounce many different consonants and vowels and words, to now where I have moved past much of that and I am learning speech patterns, and more complicated aspects of speech. I have learned not only how to speak better, but I've become more confident at my job and in my life. Shannon taught me how to speak more clearly but also how to speak up for myself! I do not hesitate to recommend her to any ESL speaker for these same accent reduction services (or I heard she works with UK speakers). This will be a lifelong set of lessons for me! Thank you, Dr. Shannon Wong Lerner!

The Yes You Can Speak program was amazing. In only four 90 minute sessions, CORE Repatterning…read morehelped me feel 100% released from the traumas that have been holding me back. Before the program I had a challenging time speaking my truth from my heart with people I felt might not be safe. Now I can have difficult conversations with an open heart rather than needing to be protective or defensive. My general confidence has improved immensely, and so has ability to pause instead of saying "um," my vocal variety and use of hand gestures. I love how deep it was, especially the part where we connected with our core values and spoke from that place of authenticity. It's powerful! This program is not at all just about public speaking, it's about giving you tools and techniques to live a much fuller life whether you're with an authority figure, a team, in an interview, on stage, or with a loved one . I loved it so much, I just asked Lynn, "What will it take to be part of your team?"

I never feared public speaking, I feared speaking without preparation. I felt confident when I had…read moretime to think things through, but if I was calleyyd on spontaneously, I froze. My inner critic would chime in: "You're rambling! You're not making sense! Hurry up!" And just like that, I'd lose my train of thought and sound anything but clear or confident. As someone pursuing speaking more seriously, I knew I had to get past this. I joined a local Toastmasters club, which helped with structure and delivery techniques, but it didn't get to the root. I didn't need to memorize a speech. I needed to feel confident grabbing the mic with no idea what I'm going to say, and still pack a punch with my message. I met Lynn when she stopped by my local Toastmaster club as a guest speaker. By the end of her workshop, I was speaking freely, no notes, no rehearsals. In less than an hour, she got me to trust myself, and my message came across clear and resonate. So, I joined her Level 1 course. I'll be honest, at first, I was hesitant. The exercises were simple, even a little "woo-woo" and I doubted if it would really change me. We practiced looking in the mirror to say affirmations. We marched around chanting, "I don't know what I'm going to say, but it's going to be great!" and various other fun things! But it worked. Week by week, those small practices paired with real speaking challenges rewired my brain. This class brought me to tears countless times. In 4 weeks, I grew more confident, more self-assured. For the first time, I believed that I could do this. I could trust that I knew what I wanted to say and didn't have to rely on perfect preparation to say it, and say it well. Lynn created an extremely safe, low-pressure container, that feels easy to do, yet the internal shifts and changes are monumental. Everyone in the class went from unsure, to confident. Our last session was so powerful. The new-found authority in the room was palpable. It also happened to fall on my birthday. The group, who by then felt like family, surprised me with a cake and a song. So nice! Lynn teaches from the heart. Her approach gently unearths the root of fear. A month later, I'm still applying what I learned. I'm leading meetings more clearly, toasting at dinner, raising my hand to speak, looking myself in the mirror with kindness before judgement, and, most importantly, trusting myself more than ever. If you want to uncover what's holding you back and try simple yet powerful tools to break through it, Lynn's class is a safe and transformative place to start. I highly recommend!

Our excellent trainer Giles took the group through a series of low risk exercises that had us telling brief stories about our lives and/or work.

These exercises are devised with thought and sensitivity to connect you more deeply with your own voice. (Entirely centered around YOU and your particular needs.)
